I've tried other wordlists and none are crashing Hashcat. Of the new ones, all are larger in size than one of the crashing lists - that got me thinking; is it possible that when my simple command hits a strange character it stops?
I have also tinkered with -a 4 on a small English list. All the English lists work without crashing, but only two hashes are solved. I added a test hash that's never solved because it's goofy spelling, like DisBote99 (a.k.a. This Boat 99)
It seems my unknown hashes aren't typical English or Norwegian (another word list I tried) and I'm not sure how to account for goofy spelling that's been hashed.
