Don't sweat it George.
So, just to clarify, if there were any results of exponents under ~4.2M,
they should be okay, meaning if I used 17.2 to doublecheck numbers in the 2M
range, they're fine? It's only all those ones higher done with 17.x that
need to be done again? And was it 17.1 *and* 17.2, or just 17.2?
These things happen. Better to find out now than another couple months down
the road.
I did notice that after upgrading on my machines, even those that were
double-checking exponents in the 2M range started over. Is that just to be
safe? Should we consider triple-checking all those that were double-checked
with 17.x?
At least trial-factoring wasn't affected! :-)
Will Scott be able to simply root out all tested numbers done with 17.x from
his database, or will they only start to show up as double-check tests in a
few months? Personally, I set my machines to double-check in the
meanwhile...until this is all sorted out.
