Thanks for the help Jim. I was able to fix multi-salt performance
problems. Can you take a look at the new source?
$ ../run/john -format=pdf -t
Benchmarking: pdf [32/64]... DONE
Many salts: 33599 c/s real, 33599 c/s virtual
Only one salt: 33905 c/s real, 33905 c/s virtual
OMP support is next (but all those global variables will cause problems).
