i think the current setting is too low :)
i'd use the same setting for both
(sha512 can be significantly faster on 64bit than on 32bit)
the limit need not be more than 1M but should be at least 100k
(one can easily wait these out on a fast machine)
a quick search on the web found several
cases where sha crypt is promoted with
high rounds:
$6$rounds=65536
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SHA_password_hashes
$5$rounds=73500
http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/15083/is-there-repetition-in-the-solaris-11-hash-routine-can-i-add-some
$5$rounds=80000 (this is the default in passlib!)
http://packages.python.org/passlib/lib/passlib.context-tutorial.html
$6$rounds=100000

$6$rounds=1000000 (!!)

bug:
somehow i forgot to add 'static' to sha256
hash functions (sha256_init, sha256_update,
sha256_sum) so they are visible
