Subject: SSH PrivateKey with password length bigger than 8 alphanum chars

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hello!

I'm trying to use JtR to crack one of my own ssh private keys.

I know that it's length is bigger than 9 chars(ascii letters and numbers
both up and lower case), most likely 10 chars, but it can be bigger, not
longer that, 16 chars.

I've tried changing the source as suggested on some posts on the mailing
list, yet, with no luck. It either segfaults or complains that it's
statistical data is not enough.

I also suspect the range of chars/numbers used in the password, yet, I'm
not sure.

How can I complile JtR sucessfully for such a task?

Thanks!
