That's because the list is so silent.

Dear everyone,
I may have missed this, but was there any final judgment on the

The behavior of the recursion x[n+1] = x[n]^2 - 2 can be precisely
analyzed. (In fact, it is because of this that the LL-test works at
all.) For a fixed prime p, the periodicity depends on the factorization
of either p-1 (if x[1]^2-4 is a quadratic residue mod p) or p+1 (if
x[1]^2-4 is a quadratic

Gimpsters,
If there are people with SPARC systems with large external caches
thinking about using Ernst Mayer's Mlucas for LL testing then
make the switch. I will be switching from MacLucasUNIX on an E450
with 400Mhz CPU with 4Mb caches to Mlucas as soon as the current
exponents finish. I ran a f

(Note that this form also form also has factors of the form k*p+1.)

I actually switched my Ultra 10 to Mlucas (using the binary you
supplied for Solaris 2.6) a couple of week
