Deleting the prime.spl file will prevent those result messages too.

Prime95 ver. 22 tells me that Option "Quit GIMPS" will remove that selected
computer only. You'd be able to join again without this assignment I think.
Other assignments on that machine are affected too and therefore you'd have to
fill the worktodo.ini manually.

But check first whether 21.4.1 is working the same way.

Which Mersenne prime did you believe not being prime? ;-)

I think in the past the server was showing assignments and cleared exponents
only within ranges meant for testing, doublechecking or factoring. Maybe the
server code has been changed.

Mersenne primes already verified should be ignored by the server too :-)

Have fun
