This is weird/wrong.  I assume you actually had some 8-bit chars in
there, and they got replaced with the HTML entities in your e-mail
message only.

In addition to the almost comprehensive response by Frank (thanks!),
please take a look at this posting about an issue with 8-bit char
literals in external modes and especially in Keyboard:

http://www.openwall.com/lists/john-users/2012/06/10/6

Summary: you either need to avoid 8-bit char literals (use the numeric
ASCII codes instead, as Frank suggested) or you need to apply one of the
workarounds suggested in that message: " & 0xff" on the three
references to k[] (in john.conf) or edit the two instances of "value =
c_getchar(1)" to "value = (unsigned char)c_getchar(1)" in c_getint()
(in compiler.c).
