Remedy
Users unable to upgrade to version 1.67 or greater can copy the `OpenBSDBCrypt.doCheckPassword()` method implementation (https://github.com/bcgit/bc-java/blob/r1rv67/core/src/main/java/org/bouncycastle/crypto/generators/OpenBSDBCrypt.java#L259-L343) into their own utility class and supplement it with the required methods and variables as required
