Sorry for that. I don't have SMTP mail access unfortunately.
I have tried to attach the patch as text/plain attachment. In case of any issues
can you please pick it from:

fixed. ( I think we can avoid memset and srtncpy both and instead use
the loop below for copying ??? )

fixed i hope.

I really don't have any idea how this piece works. I have just removed
FMT_BS from the new patch.

Thank you Solar Designer for all the comments.
Its eighth-wonder that my patch worked at all. It was horrible, i agree :)
I hope that this version is OK enough.
Still Left:
- Speed fixes by using better DES implementation ( DES bs?)
- Cracking remaining 7chars of password by using 8->16bytes of LM response.
(Cain and Abel does this!).
I guess that by prefixing a random byte to the LM hash(first 7
bytes) of password's 2nd part we can try to do it. Sound messy
though.
