Instead of rebuilding all .chr files, you could have kept a separate
build of JtR (with the original params.h) for use in all cases except
when you have a need to use your new .chr file with the 4 extra
characters in it.

I've modified the original DumbForce mode sample from JtR 1.7.3.1,
tested it briefly, and attached it to this message.  You'll need to
append this to your john.conf.

Also, just to demonstrate what my changes were, I generated and attached
a diff file comparing the original DumbForce sample with my modified
version.
