IIRC, I initially introduced it for use in AFS_fmt.c, where it is
actually a length. With this format, very different processing occurs
for passwords of length 8 and below vs. 9 and above. So these are
benchmarked separately.

As you have found out, there are already other possible values (the
lengths) - maybe they're just sufficient for Jim's needs as is?
