I guess you mean the community-contributed build from:

http://openwall.info/wiki/john/custom-builds#Compiled-for-Windows
http://download.openwall.net/pub/projects/john/contrib/win32/

This is weird.  Can you provide more info on your system, please? -
Windows version, CPU type and clock rate.

Can you let the rest of the --test benchmarks run as well, and post the
full output?

Can you try john179w2.zip and john179j5w.zip from the official page? -

In fact, out of the questions/suggestions above, testing with the
official builds is the most important thing to do.

Thanks!
