The salted_sha format came along for the ride with simon's intrisic patch.
It was old code he had (explained in a prior email), that he had created. It
is actaully nsldaps, but works for sse2/sse2i builds. But yes, these should
be reduced to 1 (or 2) formats.

That may have been my misquote.

The assumption comes from how the get_bin are implemented. Many typecast to
unsigned, then and off the lower bits. If the return from binary is not
aligned on these systems, they core. It turned up on sparc64 (and some on
sparc 32).

Now, it 'may' be only in testing code. I had not investigated further, as
the code would not get past this. So, in the cracking code, you do not
pass binary's return value? If for normal cracking, you realloc (alingned),
and then present that to the get_bin() calls, then all we may need to fix is
formats.c, and revert back the code.
All I can say, is there were many formats where I had problems in the
sparc64 system. At first, we could not even 'start' john, it would die in
the format loading of md5_gen_fmt.

I believe so. if it is more, I am sure magnum will fill in the holes.
