 This bug did not cause all factors to be missed, in fact it could cause
some
 factors to be found that ordinarily would not be found.  Specifically, in
 this low-memory situation prime95 steps through the range between B1 and
B2 in
 multiples of 210.  When processing a prime p, the code actually included
the
 prime mirrored around the previous multiple of 210.  For example, if
 21+1 is prime, then 21-1 was improperly included.  If 21+3
 is prime, then 21-3 was included.

How could this lead to factors being missed?

Regards

Daran

Re: Mersenne: Ernst Mayer's GIMPS pages

You probably were about to do this, but...


Add a line like this to the BIND zone file. (I see you're the SOA contact in the 
hogranch.com DNS zone, so should have access to this.)

   IN  A   204.182.56.143

This is like:
www	IN	A	204.182.56.143

Zone file is probably /etc/named/db.hogranch.com

Then you'll have an address record for hogranch.com as well as 
www.hogranch.com and all existing links will work.

How many times did you try, and over how long a period?
Last I heard, Ernst Mayer lived near San Jose, CA, and kept the
web pages on a home machine.  One headline at www.sjmercury.com reads


actually, he's using MY server which is at my home in Santa Cruz, and in
fact our power was out for about 3 hours today...  my server's UPS died
after 1 hours.   all back up now.
