Thanks for your comments and hints.

As I said, I used the same installation tree as in October 2022. At this
time I could crack a password in ~20 minutes as the files proof:

~/guru/john-1.9.0-jumbo-1/run> ls -ltr --full-time john.pot /tmp/pins.des
-rw-r--r-- 1 sisis sisis 104 2022-10-13 13:25:49.403363915 +0200 /tmp/pins.des
-rw------- 1 sisis sisis  21 2022-10-13 13:44:58.261868507 +0200 john.pot
~/guru/john-1.9.0-jumbo-1/run> cat john.pot

The actual DES hash has the same length and the clear PIN only consists
of 6 chars: one small letter, 4 digits and the #-symbol. And it's still
running and after ~17 hours w/o any result.
