Well another bug was fixed in 22.3. You either had a hardware glitch or ran across a rare GCD bug. Your diagnosis was correct. GCD returned a factor, but when prime95 tried verifying it the factor did not divide the Mersenne number. All in all, don't worry about it. The bug is rare enough that upgrading is not terribly important. _ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.ndatech.com/mersenne/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers

Mersenne: error result
I've been in GIMPS since before the first one was discovered. Today I finished an exponent, and saw some stuff I haven't seen before. After it completed, it said M14776187 stage 1 complete ---transformations --- time starting stage 1 GCD stage 1 GCD complete ERROR: factor doesn't divide N! contacting server etc. What went wrong? It looks like at the end of the L-L test, it did a GCD, thought it found a factor, but it wasn't a factor. For a while during this exponent, I had quick user switching on with WinXP. When I realized that prime95 was running twice as slow, I figured out that quick switching was causing two copies of primr95 to run. Could that cause a problem? +-+ | Jud McCranie | | | | Programming Achieved with Structure, Clarity, And Logic | +-+ _ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.ndatech.com/mersenne/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers
