This page only says that in bcrypt context (and SunMD5's default).

Anyhow, I've already tested all possible defaults in the 1000 to
50000 range, including 1024.  Is their default possibly lower than
sha512crypt's normal minimum of 1000?  Should test 1 to 999 then.

As you realize, this is irrelevant.
