There are two minor shortcoming in the prime95 to primenet protocol.  It
reports the first 32 digits of a found factor.  Thus, the report will never 
display
more than 103 bits as the length of the found factor.  Also if P-1 finds
a composite factor prime95 reports this as one gigantic factor rather than
two smaller factors.

Naturally, this is all cleared up when it is entered into the master database.
Its just that the primenet server reports can be a little misleading.
