mode 10500 dictionary attack fails

[victorPV]

not having any issues with the example hash adding the word "hashcat" to rockyou.txt. Also tried with a wordlist of 40 words and never had any issues. Maybe you have a space at the end of the word hashcat within your dictionary? Tried both with brute force and dictionary and no issues.

hashcat 6.2.5

I go from "Cracked" to "Exhausted" merely by adding a few words to the list. The only difference is that I use 6.2.4 but hard to believe that such a fundamental flaw is a matter of version. No issues with brute force.

Attaching a sample 16-word dictionary that works (Cracked), and a 29-word dictionary that doesn't (Exhausted). It's the dictionary size, not the specific words or the order that matter, as far as I could tell.
