of course, having one hash per salt is a special case but it's the one
that occurs most on nsldaps (lucky me ); i still need to see the whole
flow of code during a "many hash per salt" case.

yes, that's what happened; i'm still having bad times remembering C
programming as i'm most used to objective programs; i figured later that
i was just printing beautifoul portion of the code :-)

that's what i've learned today, i hoped it was possible, it isn't :-)
btw i did some comparison just to see how much it would have improved,
so basically i cracked looking for a hash that was like a portion of
code ( :-) ) and i was able to gain just a 3 % which is not really worth.
