The first few invocations of crypt_all() on ARM gave the correct result, but at some point (the 10th invocation) it started to misbehave and failed the self-test.

Another phenomenon observed: when I ran `john --test`, pbkdf2-hmac-sha512 and all other formats passed self-tests, but running `john --test --format=pbkdf2-hmac-sha512` would fail. This really strange.
