So it is not using cmp_all, if there are very few items.

If that is the case, then the original issue reported within raw-sha256-ng's
cmp_all requires correction. cmp_all should return a true value if any value
is found, and false otherwise.

I think a simple change to this will 'fix' it:

return _mm_movemask_epi8 (_mm_cmpeq_epi32 (tmp, zero)) != 0xffff;
 
Also, I think we should look at making sure there are checks done during
self test, where there are NO matches expected, making sure that cmp_all
returns false.

It's cmp_all is not right. It will always return true.  I was running
against the 1500 items in a test suite file, and cmp_all was not being
called.
