I've now increased the default RULE_RANGES_MAX to 16 for 1.6.38.1+.

This was slightly buggy, here's what went into 1.6.38.1 instead:

# Case toggler for cracking MD4-based NTLM hashes (with the contributed
# patch), given already cracked DES-based LM hashes.
# Rename this section to [List.Rules:Wordlist] to activate it.
[List.Rules:NT]

This had a minor omission, it should be:

john -show pwfile | cut -d: -f2 > lm.lst
john -w=lm.lst -rules -format=nt pwfile

Now this is actually tested and it works.  The first command may be
enhanced to produce a more optimal "wordlist" by eliminating duplicates,
empty and not fully cracked passwords, and the trailing status line.
