Busybox has internal DES and MD5 crypt functions.
They produce results which are identical to corresponding
standard C library functions.
If you leave this disabled, busybox will use the system's
crypt functions. Most C libraries use large (~70k)
static buffers in these functions, and also combine them
with more general DES encryption/decryption routines.

For busybox, having large static buffers is undesirable,
especially on NOMMU machines.
especially so on NOMMU machines. Busybox also doesn't
