I moved code out of JtR, took test vectors and looked at outputs. It
varies, sometimes first incorrect value is after 4th iteration, sometimes
it's already in 1st iteration. I ran it four times, first incorrect value
appeared in iteration 5, 1, 1, and 5. On the other board in 4 runs first
incorrect value appeared in iteration 2, 4, 1 and 1.
When integrated in JtR and it fails self test (when return value from core
that returned wrong value is tested), usually it's get_hash[0](13) or
get_hash[0](15) (rarely get_hash[0](10)). I tried it again now, passed self
test but after first run there were 12 non cracked passwords although they
should be cracked. When I use 8 cores either all are cracked or 2 - 3
remain after first run.

I tried other board, passed self test (Raw: 795 c/s real, 795 c/s
virtual) but also didn't crack all the passwords from BF_tst.in (25
remained, all cores used). I ran self test again after cracking and it
failed on get_hash[0](15).
