Can you post actual code to illustrate the problem? Don't post your
entire module; just show us the functions involved, the input that
causes the problem, and what output you expect to get.

Here is the output that illustratrates the problem. After the output I'll
list the code for the called function,
strongfac,
and the calling function, fermat.
IDLE 1.1.2
>>> import factor34
>>> from factor34 import testrange
>>> testrange(10**14+37,10**14+37)
Begin calculating constants to be used in factoring.
Finished calculating constants to be used in factoring.
Search for a factor of 100000000000037
Could not find factors by strong probable prime test using witnesses <
10000.
Try to find factors by using power of 2 mod z as a witness.
