Subject: OpenCL: Error creating binary cache file

Hi

The message "Error creating binary cache file" comes from:
https://github.com/magnumripper/JohnTheRipper/blob/bleeding-jumbo/src/opencl_common.c#L1409

It means, basically, JtR tried to cache the compiled kernel it is using in
your GPU, but it failed. It does NOT mean your OpenCL run will fail. It's
only about caching.

Probably:
- we (the JtR devs) should stop caching OpenCL when running in MacOS;
- one can fix it after a debug session using a Mac computer. It smells like
a permission or bad filename issue.
