WORKAROUND

The problem doesn't appear if I emerge johntheripper with -mpi flag disabled.

[Comment 4 Dane Smith (RETIRED) 2010-12-03 19:08:38 UTC]

MPI Support was removed from subsequent version since upstream development of the patchset in question ceased in 1.7.2. It appears that some people may have tried to pick it up. I will look into that as time permits. In the mean time, upstream added built in parallelization support through OpenMP into the core of john as of 1.7.6. I added support for this into 1.7.6-r1 via the openmp use flag.

Closing this as CANTFIX. I will scope out the other new MPI patch sets as soon as I can. Thanks for the report.
