I've run like that since and only now a problem surfaced.

*** glibc detected *** ./john: corrupted double-linked list: 
0x00000000080e67d0 ***
======= Backtrace: =========
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x76bb6)[0x7fd3d1700bb6]
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x78b21)[0x7fd3d1702b21]
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(cfree+0x73)[0x7fd3d17068e3]
./john(do_wordlist_crack+0x12b1)[0x4b5a8f]

It only happened for an OMP build (but it happens with only one thread).

I still hope we can use this, with a workaround for the problem. I'm not 
sure I can debug this but I'll try, some day.
