Many people have tried breaking the cipher, I have not heard of anyone being successful.
There is however a number of programs that attempt a brute-force of passwords, the best is called 'crack' and is written by Alec Muffet.
From Applied Cryptography (2nd edition) I got the impression that it has been cracked. Do a netsearch for "Crypt Breakers Workbench", its a freeware program that attempts to do just that.
