I believe this is because when loading the bin_hash is used, BUT JtR does a
full 40 byte memcmp to check the entire binary, not just the few bits the
hash does.

Thus when loading, Jtr will put both hashes into the same lookup 'table'.
When the password is found, the format ignores the first 32 bits, and thus,
both hashes (the full, and the overwritten with 0's) hashes get cracked
properly.
