Yes it did. But it would segfault maybe 1 out of 100 times. But when I
witched from patched kernel to default one, it would segfault every time. I
checked the defualt kernel which produced the same result as the patched
ones but it would just segfault. I checked all the differences in host
code between the two kernel and even checked common-opencl.c but couldn't
find anything.

I checked and rechecked my format methods like a thousand times but then I
decided to go a little deeper because I am sure the segfault wasn't from
any of the internal methods. Although it may be due to some wrong setup in
the format. So I checked into cracker.c(and other relevant files) to find
out any memory allocations based on max_keys_per_crypt. I modified line
number 123 in cracker.c to the following and the problem was gone.
if (db->loaded) {
size = /*crk_params.max_keys_per_crypt*/2097152 * sizeof(int64);
memset(crk_timestamps = mem_alloc_tiny(size,sizeof(int64)), -1,
size);
