One more observation: in these tests, you've never tried running John in
batch mode (not specifying a cracking mode on the command line).  In
that mode, John loads all hashes, including duplicates, since that might
provide extra information for the "single crack" mode (which is the
first pass with batch mode).  As a side effect, the presence of
duplicate hashes in John's in-memory "database" might expose bugs in
your patch that are otherwise not seen - and I had that happen in my
testing today (with your -4).

Please note this when you're testing further revisions of your patch.

Thanks,
