Are all salts 113 bytes long?  If not (but 113 bytes is the max), then 
you would want use SaltLen=-113

The problem here, is that there are embedded nulls in the salt. Within 
the valid() function dynamic, it first sees the $HEX$ and tries to 
remove it but keep it in 'C' null terminated string format.  However, 
that can not be done with the nulls.  So what happens, is the salt 
length is not 113 bytes, but 113*2+5 bytes long, and the valid is failing.

I am not sure how easy this issue would be to work around.  Let me check 
a bit.
