Well, this is not useful. It appears that gdb traps the fault that
occurs during Cygwin's backtrace dump rather than the one in John
itself. Additionally, it appears that this fault occurs in a callback
from Windows APIs, which were compiled without frame pointers, so we do
not get a complete backtrace back into John.

OK, I went ahead and created a fake 688 MB john.pot with 33.5 million
entries (mostly duplicates, which could have affected the results).
Then I ran "john --show passwd" on a tiny password file for which there
were entries in john.pot. I've noticed the "john" process take up to
1.5 GB of memory (watching it in "top"), then it produced the expected
output and terminated normally. As expected, no crash. This is on
Linux/x86-64 (Owl-current). I might try with a 32-bit build and with a
large john.pot with no duplicate entries later, but I don't expect to be
able to reproduce the problem in this way.

This tells me several things:
1. You're using a version of John older than 1.7.2 - why? SSE2 was
added to the "linux-x86-64" target in 1.7.2.
2. The "linux-x86-sse2" target would be wrong for x86-64 (it shouldn't
work, unless your distribution is for 32-bit x86, which it might be).
The reason it's missing, though, is that you're using an older version
of John.
3. Your Linux distribution might be for 32-bit x86, not x86-64. What
does "uname -m" say? What kind of addresses does "ldd /bin/ls" print?
