Most of the time get_hash*() failures indicate that hashing was not done
properly in crypt_all(), but given the additional info you've provided
and that it's only get_hash[2] that failed (meaning that [0] and [1]
have matched, which is not very likely to occur by accident, although
it's possible), I think you actually have a bug in your binary_hash_2()
or/and get_hash_2() (maybe in higher-numbered hash functions as well).

When you're only cracking one hash, the hash functions are not used.
You may want to generate a thousand of (different) test hashes (or mix
your one test hash with a thousand of fake hashes) and see if cracking
still works (chances are that it won't).

I hope this helps.
