Hi all,
The 6 available small exponents are long since gone. One had a
P-1 factor found this morning. I've had one other LL result reported, so
we're at 20 below M#38 and counting....
Embarrassingly, the P4 version I announced 2 days ago fails the
self-test. You would have thought I'd have run that(!), but I ran the QA suite
instead. The FFT code is fine, but a change in the way P4 handles carry
propagations means you run into trouble if there are too *few* bits per
FFT word. Thus, I tweaked the self-test code to not run any small exponents
in big FFT lengths. Any LL tests started with the 2 day old version are just
fine, the bug was only in the self-test code.
Regards,
George
