Yes, this was already something I was planning to have a look at, sooner
or later. I really liked the "trick" you used in MD5_fmt.c:
static char (*saved_key)[PLAINTEXT_LENGTH + 1];
...
saved_key = mem_alloc_tiny(
sizeof(*saved_key) * fmt_MD5.params.max_keys_per_crypt,
MEM_ALIGN_CACHE);
It took me half a day to understand why it works. It's a very convenient
way of writing it!
