AFL shows "total execs : 41" in the "stage progress" part of its status 
screen after 6 hours of work? That's definitely wrong.

"total paths : 41" is possible if you took one simple hash as input. In 
case of john, afl cannot jump from a hash for one format to a hash for 
another format because most formats have specific tags in their hashes. 
You have to either take hashes for all formats or prepare a dictionary 
of all tags (afl-fuzz -x).

That's nice.

Please don't include a full copy of the email you are replying to unless 
it's necessary for some reason.
