Found and working on fix.  It was within loader.c  ldr_split_line()
function.  With changes made, that function worked directly with the
fmt_main->format item.  If there was a line that was not valid (the last 5
lines in the file you provided are not valid), then this pointer was changed
to a null.

Later, john would be told there WERE a number of values found, but then this
pointer is null, which would then be used and crash.

Found it.  I had removed the whole 'if' statement that people had complained
about for the 'options->single_salts'.  Well, that if still needs to be
there.  Just the internal if needs gone.  I have put this back into the
code, but have commented out the single_salts logic, which is logic I had
added a couple years ago, but which appears to only work properly on certain
formats.

if (*format) {
//	if (db_options->single_salts->head)
//	{
//		char *salt = (char*)(*format)->methods.salt(*ciphertext);
//		if (ldr_check_list(db_options->single_salts, salt,
*ciphertext))
//			return 0;
//	}
	return (*format)->methods.valid(*ciphertext);
}

I have added comments on the part needing removed.  With this change,
loader's ldr_split_line() is back working properly. The first 'found' format
is used from that point on.

Jim.
