Not salting passwords is clearly broken, interesting or not, as it opens up at
least one very juicy attack possibility - see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_table. Quoting that page:

A rainbow table "contains statistically high chance of revealing a password
within a short period of time, generally less than a minute."

and: "A rainbow table is ineffective against one-way hashes that include salts."
