Yes, it does not work. Because this version of john uses space as a delimiter
while my code expects slash. That is why I check output manually.

I simplified it a bit:

john | sed -n '/^--format/,$ { s#^--format=[ A-Za-z]*:##; /^--/ q; s#^ *##; s#\<dynamic_n\>#dynamic#; s#[/ ]#\n#g; p }'

/^--/ q stops script on the next key after --format so there is no need for
magic numbers like 100. \< and \> shows that dynamic_n should be a whole word
(not part). It seems to work with magnum-jumbo.
