Okay, it is a real honest bug, in the crypt() routine, line 686 in adduser:

            $cryptpwd = crypt($password, &salt) if $password ne "";

password and salt are both valid, salt returns a valid string.  Once we hit
crypt we run and spin forever and ever.  Yes, I've installed the secure code,
but 950412.  Im not even close to being good at perl, so if someone else could
fix this, I would think adduser is critical to FreeBSD in general and 2.0.5R
specifically..
