Thanks! BTW, I saw your recent commit adding omp support to raw-sha256-ng, I
tried to copy and paste your code, but I get this odd result:
$ ../run/john -test -fo=raw-sha1-ng
Benchmarking: Raw SHA-1 (pwlen <= 15) [128/128 SSE4.1 intrinsics
4x]...(8xOMP) DONE
Raw: 23232K c/s real, 3338K c/s virtual
I don't understand why real is so different than virtual, compared to
without omp:
$ ../run/john -test -fo=raw-sha1-ng
Benchmarking: Raw SHA-1 (pwlen <= 15) [128/128 SSE4.1 intrinsics 4x]... DONE
Raw: 9251K c/s real, 9251K c/s virtual
What am I doing wrong? (I already batch crypts, so I figured I could just
split the work across threads if available, maybe this was naive).

OK, will do.
