I think the problem here is you do not realize what --stdout means. --stdout means print every single candidate that is generated to --stdout, e.g. for piping into another cracking application. You would never use --stdout when actually cracking hashes, because, well, this is precisely what would happen. It's trying to write each and every candidate to stdout while also simultaneously writing cracked hashes to stdout, so everything becomes a jumbled mess.

Read the documentation and understand what switches do before making them part of your command line.
