I'm experiencing a problem with LM hash aad3b435b51404ee and hashcat 3.00 on Windows 8.1.
I reduced the original problem I had to this:
file lm: aad3b435b51404ee
Command: hashcat64.exe -a 3 -m 3000 --potfile-disable lm
Output:
Remark this line in the output: aad3b435b51404ee:X
aad3b435b51404ee is the LM hash of the empty string, so I did not expect to see character X.
And when I run this again, I get a different character.
When I use a POT file, it also contains a character for this hash.
I have the sample problem on my laptop and desktop (both Windows 8.1), and with hastcat32.exe and hashcat64.exe.
Any insights appreciated.

ATTENTION!
The wordlist or mask you are using is too small.
Therefore, hashcat is unable to utilize the full parallelization power of your device(s).
The cracking speed will drop.
