RM: bcrypt/1.1-6



Package: bcrypt
Version: 1.1-8

Previously a request was submitted to have bcrypt removed from testing (#694093). Work has since been completed by DD Michael Stapelberg to address the two RC bugs that were the motivation behind removal. I would therefore request that the bcrypt package be included in testing again by accepting recently uploaded version 1.1-8. Only minimal changes were made to the package to explicitly  address the RC bug issues.

Thanks, Kevin

RC Bugs addressed in the patch found in version 1.1-8:

* bugs.debian.org/693460
  Can't handle files larger than 4GB, causes data loss if used with default
  parameters.

* bugs.debian.org/694091
  Loads the whole file into memory, causes processes deaths when trying to
  allocate more memory than the machine has.
