Hi Torsten,

Sounds like your wordlist is borked :-<  Time to look at the FAQ and
find out which of the recovery methods (bogoutil -d, db_recover,
db_dump) works best.

Good eye on the '-f'.  It was used to select the "Robinson-Fisher"
algorithm, the best of the three algorithms then available and now the
only one available.  I've fixed the file and committed the change to
CVS.
