In the man page for the factor command,
the range of input numbers
is given with -2147483648 to 2147483647 inclusive.
On the 64-bit Alpha / Linux 2.2.13 / glibc2.1
Platform, this is not true
(and on the i686 platform it seems neither):
jnix@mizar:~ > factor 15777379779999793139
15777379779999793139: 37946009 415784958571
(The result seems correct when verifying
with bc).
Sorry that I bother you with this odd doc bug,
but I was trying to find something which
computes a while and it was disappointingly
fast - it took only four seconds.
