Run the code using the new "clang-debug" target in jumbo-6, or just use
Valgrind, and look for salt buffer overruns. That's just my first guess.

Other clues can be to watch the LAST cracked of the 1454, and look at
just where this password is located in pw.dic and which lines are
surrounding it. Are all the uncracked passwords later in the file than
that? Or are they scattered all over it? And the input file: which salts
are surrounding the last one cracked?
