Crackpos incorrect

$
0
0
I'm doing some research into passwords and noticed that crackpos is not correct.

I thought crackpos was supposed to represent the Nth attempt at a password.
But rockyou contains 14344391 passwords and my crackpos looks like this:

1954100
1954110
1954111
1957829

Even though the values that it cracked isn't at the N th position.
Second attempt on a different machine with the same list against rockyou.

These are the lowest values in the list.
2752512
2752515
2752517
These the highest:
15173999
15175368

Does this mean that out of all the attempts (14,344,384) one of them was at position 15175368? 
14344384 < 15175368 which is impossible.
Any reason for this? If this it increments per 'attack' or session how can this be reset?
