--username not working- line length exception

Example line:

hey@hey.com:$1$xxxxxxxx$xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


oclhashcat32.exe -a 0 -m 500 --username hash.txt pass.txt

Keeps bringing up line length exception




another thing is when I crack just the hashes, speed is like 40p/s on 60k hashes.. so slow, using amd 7970
