Oh, GOD! I think, this will be the real death of us - UNIX double-checkers.
The current versions of programs like mersenne2, mersenne1 or MacLucasUNIX
of MERS package will be useless for GIMPS...and whole LL testing will be
only PC (one hardware) users business. Not a nice future...
Note for Will Edgington: Will, I don't wanna die!! It's time to upgrade
MacLucasUnix! Or is it impossible??
