I will have to check for sure, but DUE to this being generic, I did make it so it would work with longer PW's.   The format itself, should set the max password length IT wants.  Each sub format will or should know how many bytes are valid.  SSE builds vs non-SSE builds do (or can) change this.

It appears that this format (dyna 2) is busted, as likely are others.  I will correct this.  Dyna2 in SSE (mmx) builds should truncate any password longer than 55 bytes to only be 55 bytes long.

I will spend some time auditing the format, (all sub formats, for all build types), and make appropriate changes to dyanamic_preloads.c and dynamic.conf files, so that they are setup properly.   NOTE, in dyna.conf, the task is MUCH harder, since it does not know how JtR was built.  Within dynamic_preloads.c, it does know how JtR is being compiled, so #defines can give different settings for SSE or for non-SSE builds.

Jim.
