Here's the official magnum-one-liner[tm] for testing (not Single though):
$ ../run/john --stdout -wo -ru | perl -e 'while (<>) { chomp; $len{ length($_)}++; } foreach $len (keys(%len)) { printf "%02d: %d\n", $len, $len{$len}; }' | sort -n

Now, add a max format length (ie. --stdout=10) and try again. Due to truncation, the figure for 10 goes up. Then also add --max-len=10 and try again. It goes down again. Add a --minlen, throw in rules, external filters and so on.
