Did you use the same passwords? What about your *.pot files? Did you
clear john.pot every time or not? You can make john use different "pot
file" for every session using --pot option with different file name for
every session. Also, you can name sessions using --session option with
session name, that way You can restore named sessions (with --restore
option with name of the session as its parameter) and not start from
scratch every time.

Best regards,
Marek
