First, grab the latest commit. A bug sneaked in 20h ago and a fix was 
just committed. It had nothing to do with this issue but it stopped some 
combinations of options, eg. using -test and -device at the same time. Then,

1. Try adding `LWS=64 GWS=512` before your command, as in

	$ LWS=64 GWS=512 ./john --format=dmg-opencl ./hash

That will limit workgroup size so would be slower, but does it work?

2. Try `rm kernels/*.bin` (drop kernel cache) and immediately after 
that, try cracking (not testing) again. Any difference?

3. What if you use `--format=dmg` (the CPU version), does that work better?

4. What if you do use OpenCL but with `--device=CPU`, does that work?

5. What happens if you extract some test vectors like this and try them 
instead of your hash file:

	../run/john --list=format-tests -form:dmg | grep -F '$1*' | cut -f3 > 
test.in

Does that also crash?


Hopefully some of the above will help us nail the problem.
