The word list "rockyou.txt" doesn't contain the password "hashcat" (without quotes).
I don't see any evidence that your claim about a problem and that the password is within the dictionary file is correct.
Why don't you just create a new file where only the word
hashcat
is within the file ? (no spaces or tabs etc before or after the word, it must be there exactly as it was used in generating the hash)
Best would of course also be if while debugging/testing something like this your status screen would also mention the password, i.e. it could/should say when only testing one password:
Candidates.#2....: hashcat -> hashcat
etc
For now it just looks like an user problem and misunderstanding: rockyou.txt doesn't contain the password hashcat
