How about a warning that the current version has such problems, only if
the user loads a password file where multiple users have the same name?
I don't expect this to be very common.
For all core hash types except LM it should also work if you rewrite the
user specified file, putting the hash into the first column instead of
the user name, and call john --show on this file. (Don't change the
original file, and use the user specified file for real cracking!)
I don't think this is important right now.
You would have to combine password hashes from different sourced to end
up with a file where a user name appears multiple times.
