The doc for htpasswd on 2.2 and trunk does say that when encrypted using
crypt() (the default), only the first 8 characters of the password are used.
That might have been added since your bug report, I don't know.

Are you sure it's 7 and not 8 characters? Both the htpasswd doc, and the
crypt(3) man page, say that 8 characters are used.
