You need to state what command you ran. It could be a bug (should be 
fairly new bug if so), but it's likely due to eg. running -fork in some 
non-efficient way.

For example, if you ran wordlist + rules with fork, no two processes 
will apply the same rule to the same word. But if one process read the 
word "teddyg" and used a rule that applied "17", and another process 
read the word "teddy" and a rule that applied "g17", they would both 
crack the same "teddyg17" hash. If they do this within minutes the "pot 
sync" feature will not have a chance to mitigate it. OTOH it can be 
ignored (and it was much much worse before pot sync) as long as we know 
this is the actual issue here.
