That "driver bug" was PEBCAK, fixed now. I also added a trivial perl 
script that (now) correctly calculates the truth table. Here's F5 for 
RIPEMD-160:

$ ./truth.pl '((x) ^ ((y) | ~(z)))'
lut3(x, y, z, 0x2d)  ==  ((x) ^ ((y) | ~(z)))

The result also works as-is for AVX-512 "ternarylogic", which will make 
life simpler for us.

Most formats now has LOP3.LUT alternatives and seem to work fine now. 
Some don't get any boost (just meaning the toolchain did a good job 
already) but I think md5crypt is the only one getting a definite 
performance regression (and still has it disabled). We should get to the 
bottom of that. BTW it would be very nice having CUDA 7.5 on super.
