Subject: dupes in john.pot

Solar,

Neither using OMP nor MPI, if I attack n hashes, crack all of them, and 
john says it cracked *more* than n, does that suggest anything special 
to you? Could this happen because of an undetected problem with 
salt_hash or something like that?

There are two variations of the problem:

1. I have a test file (with 1320 unique hashes) for mysql that says 
"guesses: 1322" yet there are no dupes in john.pot.

2. I have a test file for mscash that also says "guesses 1322" and in 
this case, there are actually two cases of duplicate hashes in john.pot

I (and Jim) have seen it on DES too, but right now I can't reproduce. I 
think that was using the test suite as posted on the wiki, and only with 
32-bit x86 builds or something like that. There was 1321 found out of 1320.

I can send you test files but I thought you might have some immediate ideas.
