Then you are obviously not running a john binary which was built using
latest git.

Did you notice that Rich recommended
	./john output.txt

But you used
	john output.txt
instead.

The former command runs the john binary which is located in the current
directory.
Your command instead searches all $PATH directories for an executable
file named john, and executes the first one found.
You were probably running a john binary which was included in your
distribution (either a core binary without jumbo additions, or just an
older jumbo version).
