Ouch, I meant get_hash[]() here. Sorry!

get_hash[]() should be called for each computed hash, cmp_all()
without get_hash[]() should be called for each loaded hash.

It would be possible to remove get_hash[]() calls if crypt_all
returned the values in array: john provides a pointer to array of ints
(BTW why not unsigned int?) of length MAX_KEYS_PER_CRYPT to
crypt_all(), and crypt_all fills the array with values like from
get_hash[6](). Though the length of array should be a separate field
in the format structure because crypt_all() may produce more
candidates.

Thanks!
