Is this part of KoreLogic's torrent with lots of hashes?  (I haven't
looked at it yet.)

How much RAM do you have?

How much does the "john" process occupy?

What version of JtR is that?

Thanks for the info.  We'll need to check whether this is supposed to
happen with that number of hashes or not.

It should be, but you may need more RAM.  Alternatively, try the
--save-memory=2 option or/and split the file into a few chunks (e.g.,
maybe halves of that large file will fit in your RAM one at a time).
