Agnieszka has now pointed out that you misunderstood her. So I've just
killed the process, finally.

This is unexpected, but it's great! So, do you now have sufficient
information to pinpoint the issue?

The process that I saw had consumed so much CPU time that it's clear
it corresponded to just one iteration of your script above. Maybe
there's another bug, causing the Bitcoin format to enter an infinite(?)
loop like that?
Did you expect this script to actually reach 100000 iterations before
we'd have to kill it? Sounds unrealistic to me, given that each "./john
--test-full=0 --format=bitcoin" probably takes way more than a second
(even if doesn't enter that infinite loop, or whatever it was),
especially in a build with ASan.
