I can't reproduce this. It works fine for me, cracking all 3107 hashes
in my test file. That's with a pure wordlist, no rules, though. Maybe
there's a bug in the wordlist buffering introduced in the jumbo patches?
A bug that is easily seen only in conjunction with rules and with a tiny
wordlist? This code looked unreliable to me...

gcc 4.5.0 here.

Yes, already known. Thanks for the reminder. I think I'll have to
simply have the Idle setting ignored in OpenMP builds when there's more
than one thread. Any other ideas?

This is news to me. Was NFS involved?
