That is an informational message, not an error (the last 2 lines of the
message). It will likely go away in a -2 update to the performace patch.
It is information, but more or less debugging information that was left in.
It is simply telling you that this small dictionary file is being loaded
into memory and accessed from there, and not from disk. It is a performance
gain for john, and for some things (like rule processing that would normally
read and re-read the file many times), it is a significant performance gain.
Jim.
