Surely this really doesn't matter. If the first test had errors, there is 
still a reasonable chance of discovering a prime - at any rate, as good as 
running a LL test on a 17M range exponent. Also, PrimeNet will still credit 
you; there is no distinction between credit for a first LL test and credit 
for a double-check.
