What "version 17 bug"?

This is great news for the project--it should raise morale after the version
17 bug. It has been a long time (almost a year an

Subject: Mersenne: Problem with Prime95
Hello, List.
I have a s
Does anyone out there have one of the new Alpha ev6's (a.k.a. Alpha 21264)
or MIPS R12K's they might be willing to give me short-term access to? I'd
like to do some timings/tunings of my Lucas-Lehmer code on such a machine.
A Fortran-90 compiler is helpful but not necessary.
Thanks,
Ernst

I sugest you send a letter to Nature or Science. The review process is

Do any of you remember this post?
If no in-between number will be found this posting turns out to be
false (as I always suspected)...

Once this new one is verified, it will be interesting to see if there is a
prime either just below or just above it, to see if this elusive and highly
unverified "island" theory sticks in this case or not.
There are still plenty of exponents to check below 6M, so there could very
possibly be anot

TTBOMK, the theory was never formalized.
