Subject: Re: "Failed copy data to gpu" when using fork with descrypt-opencl

Hi Royce,

Thank you for reporting this.  On further occasions, please direct such
postings to john-users rather than john-dev.  This is essentially user
experience, and it's useful for other users to know that they may/should
use --fork for this purpose, and that it failed in this version for this
GPU type.

Did this work for you before, on this same GPU, with older
bleeding-jumbo?  Can you identify the newer version that worked?

And yes, you're right in using --fork to speedup descrypt-opencl.
In fact, once this issue is resolved, I think you'll want to use
something like --fork=4.
