Agreed.
> The easiest fix is to switch to $dynamic_0$ in the OpenCL format. Though I'd rather switch to $MD5$ in the others. We could even make the formats understand both but produce any new lines with $MD5$... although such things tend to get messy. And the dynamic format would need to be fixed by Jim, whom I haven't heard from in quite a while now.
I'll leave making the determination to you and Jim.

This is a last resort approach. I dislike it.
