I narrowed down the problem to path_init(). The problem seems to be
caused by the way I am executing john. I have added some debug output in
order to highlight the effect:
bash-4.1$ john -t --format=cryptmd5-opencl
argv[0] = john
john_home_path: (null)
john_home_path: (null)
john_home_path: (null)
john_home_path: (null)
john_home_path: (null)
...
bash-4.1$ ./john -t --format=cryptmd5-opencl
argv[0] = ./john
john_home_path: ./
john_home_path: ./john.conf
john_home_path: ./dumb16.conf
john_home_path: ./dumb32.conf
john_home_path: ./dynamic.conf
...
There seems like path_init() won't handle cases where the argv[0]
contains no slash (see path.c from line 65 and on).
The error does not occur when I am executing on gdb because gdb is
expanding argv[0] to contain the full path name.
Using realpath() seems to solve the problem, but I'm not sure this would
be portable. Any ideas?
