Comment (by prasad):

 This is a limitation of crypt function that is used for password encode
 during comparison.

 Refer: http://in.php.net/crypt
 {{{
 The standard DES-based encryption crypt() returns the salt as the first
 two
 characters of the output. It also only uses the first eight characters of
 str , so
 longer strings that start with the same eight characters will generate the
 same result
 (when the same salt is used).
 }}}
