Wow... I recalculated my estimates of P as # of digits * 3.321928094887 --
based on #5.6 from the faq (I really must read that whole thing some time
so I stop asking stuff in it....). They came out as:
#38 4679842.61
#39 6877955.78
At some point I had a vague recollection that STL had believed there was a
number missing, and I was quite happy to see that it basically matched
what I got. And rounded, my estimate for #39 equals his.
So now I'd estimate we're missing a prime near 2^4679842-1.. but of course
when I try to do that manually, I'm getting told it's composite.
