The sad part of the story is I suspect md5crypt-opencl worked just fine right up to commit 1bee9a4, where I "improved" it. And all other segfaulting formats are mine. It seems the AMD drivers are allergic to me. While I do suspect driver bugs (all these formats work fine on several other versions of the Catalyst driver, on nvidia and even under OSX with the exception of office2013) I can't help thinking there's something I do wrong, or should do in some other way. A systematic error, like releasing buffers before unmapping them, something like that. Portions of the code in all the problematic formats are very similar. But I have checked, double checked and triple checked and I just can't see anything wrong with the code.
If someone could review commit 1bee9a4 *very* closely, looking for violations of the specifications, problematic casts, misalignment or whatever, there's a chance you'll find something that solves this for all of the formats. But first, of course, confirm my assumption that md5crypt-opencl worked prior to that commit.
