... and I just noticed that my early fuzz.pl runs, still with on-disk
john.pot, resulted in this line getting added:

scrypt$Cj0PzdtT3qS2$41$8$1$64$qn4CDnM8CcIBNrpQXHo6ti8vSUoSXj7GBFy7k1bp5wPs8jKjh/gHZ+qM9uk6LbcVHm02yBaI5WCbDm/Shq/MXA==:wrong password 1

This is based on a test vector from django_scrypt_fmt_plug.c, which had
"14" in place of "41".  Apparently, this format produces false positives
on failed memory allocation.

I think we should merge the django-scrypt and scrypt formats into one,
and update it to use my newer yescrypt code.
