Yeah, I was wondering about that thing...if we don't even know if there are
finite or infinite Mersenne primes, how does it generate that number?  Mine
says my odds are about 1 in 60,000 or so....I'm doing an LL test on a
number in the 719 range, and back when I was testing numbers in the 400
range the odds were much better...around 1 in 45,000.
