Yes, the {...} are required around the encrypted block to indicate that 
the included string is encrypted. This allows you to encrypt only part 
of a connection string (i.e. just the password part) and not have to 
encrypt the whole string.

You are using PHP MapScript, right? Did you rebuild your 
php_mapscript.so, update the copy in your PHP extension_dir and restart 
Apache? The decryption code needs the same fix for 64 bits as msencrypt.
