The above apparently has nothing to do with it, and this problem is not
format specific (it happens with untagged NT hashes too for example).
This is only a problem with -show, everything else works as it should.

This is a problem in 1.7.8-jumbo-8 and later, I haven't tried older
versions. I'm not quite sure what to do about it, or why it happens.
When loading for cracking or -show=left, hash is rejected as already
cracked (i.e. correct behavior). But when doing -show, hash is
considered not cracked. I can't see why! I'm giving up for now.
