I was wrong though. Jim does the right thing but somewhere in this code 
block there must be some kind of fence-post error.

	word_file_str = mem_alloc(db->options->max_wordfile_memory + 1);
	words = mem_alloc( max_pipe_words * sizeof(char*));
	rules_keep = rules;

	{
		char *cpi, *cpe;

		log_event("- Reading next block of candidate passwords from stdin pipe");

		// the second (and subsquent) times through, we do NOT call init 
functions.

			init_this_time = 0;

		cpi = word_file_str;
		cpe = (cpi + db->options->max_wordfile_memory) - LINE_BUFFER_SIZE;
