We had proceeded to discuss this with Stephen via private e-mail and
I've found the bug. Yes, there was a bug in the loader introduced with
1.6.37.10 where "john --show" would report split hashes with the last
piece not yet cracked as if they were fully cracked.
The fix is available here:
http://cvsweb.openwall.com/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/Owl/packages/john/john/src/loader.c.diff?r1=1.4;r2=1.5
This affects bigcrypt/crypt16 and LM hashes.
I would like to once again thank Stephen for reporting the problem and
providing the necessary information to reproduce it and fix the bug.
