You keep saying that and I keep arguing that Jumbo (as opposed to core
John) truncates to PLAINTEXT_LENGTH before serving candidates to
set_key() - so very fast formats should not waste time on length checks.
Having said that, obviously if you announce a larger PLAINTEXT_LENGTH
than you can actually handle, you will be run over.

Also, it *will* smash get_salt() if it's not protected.
