Good hint. Unfortunately I have to skip optimization completely under
AIX 5.3 for BSDI DES (x725), Kerberos AFS DES and NT LM DES in order for
the benchmark not to fail. The results however are dramatically lower
than with optimization - on all tests. Pity.

This is interesting. When running an AIX 5.1 binary under AIX 5.3, I get
slightly lower benchmark results overall. But the tests that failed
before, perform much much better than using the unoptimized binary.
I guess I have to live with that little drawback... :)
BTW, I've used john-1.6.38 this time...
