Correct. This is an artifact of our kludgy merge program written several years ago. I manufacture a binary file containing all exponents up to 10,000,000 that need double checking and all exponents up to 2^24 that need testing or factoring. There are two shortcomings in the merge program: 1) If an exponent is in the binary database marked for double-checking, then the previous LL result is not cleared out. 2) If the exponent is above 2^24, the previous result is not cleared out. _________________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.ndatech.com/mersenne/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers
