I believe I found the problem. You actually had another XXX comment
hinting about it, but I didn't fully understand the issue until seeing
in valgrind what happened. Easy fix then.

Yes, I think I used omp4. I tried again now, using nsk3:
LM, 1 hash, rockyou -ru: 57% boost!
NT, 1 hash, rockyou -ru: 38% boost
Patch posted to wiki soon. It's a pity I didn't find this before the
