The answer is that UNIX crypt(1) is not very secure, as its manual page warns!
Any competent cryptanalyst should be able to crack a crypt(1)ed normal text
of length ~2000 chars in a matter of minutes, assuming he has his usual set
of tools at hand.

P.S.  No, I am not issuing a challenge.  I do not have even a few minutes
apiece to spend cracking test messages, so please don't mail me any!
