That doesn't make sense, unless I'm misinterpreting what you are saying.
Primes
aren't that common, are they?
Apparently, they are, I'm ran a sample, but even with the added second
sanity check, every one of them that passes a single round comes up prime.
I then proceeded to move it to 2048-bit numbers. It takes longer and the
gaps between primes is averaging around 700 right now, but once again if it
passes a single test it passes all 128+128. This sample is currently
statistically completely insignificant, but even after the currently 8 tries
I'd expect something different.
