Bug found.  Was doing a strcmp, vs a memcmp.  I needed the length, because I
am packing the internal salt data, with not interspersed nulls, along with
the internal salt data is not a string any more, it can contain NULL bytes,
if a HEX$...00... is seen.

Here is the 'test' app I am using to generate test data:

#include <stdio.h>
void main() {
   int i;
   char *hdr=":$dynamic_1$0000000000000000000000000";
   for (i = 0; i < 500000; ++i) {
//      printf ("%s%07d$%d\n", hdr,i,i);
      printf ("%s%07d$%d\n", hdr,i,i&255);
   }
}


This code can make test data with 256 different salts, or with 500k unique
different salts.    One other good test is to make a 256 salt, and modify
the first 10 or so salts, so that they are not:  0, 1, 2, 3 ... but HEX$30,
HEX$31, HEX$32, ...     Once those are modified, the older john will find
more than 256 salts.  My new code still only finds 256 salts.  

Hopefully, I will have this fully tested and released today.

Jim.
