It was a plain --test.  I reported either the same or an extremely
similar bug for the last jumbo patch, and yes, I know it's a known issue.

Gentoo users expect tests to pass.  Not just in that "it's cool to watch
the numbers scroll by" way, when the package is compiled it is tested
before installed.  The obvious choice of a test for jtr to ensure all
functionality is working as expected would be "./john --test".  The fact
that --test failed means that all of my users cannot install jtr, or I
must forcibly disable the tests.  For now, I have obviously disabled the
tests since I know they are unreliable, but my point is this is
important enough to merit a fix.

Thanks for your consideration,
Zero
