Hello,

	266:0:0:8 should find all passwords that are 8 chars or less that
250:0:0:16 found, and some more, so this looks definitely like a bug.
However, given the code quality of my contributions, i'm not sure
whether it's from the markov part or the md5 part (if it's mine ...).
Could you send me one of the cleartext passwords so that i could
pinpoint the bug?
