Subject: Reading salt that contain semicolum

Hi,

Some hashing algorithms use salts that might - and do in some cases - 
contain semicolums. John seems to do some magic, effectively skipping 
the hash.

bofh@dev:~$ echo 
'0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef$123456789012345678901234567890' > 
/tmp/hash
bofh@dev:~$ /opt/JohnTheRipper/run/john --format=dynamic_2006 /tmp/hash
Using default input encoding: UTF-8

Is there a workaround? HEX$ encoding the salt doesn't seem to be 
successful.

Thanks,

Jeroen
