Re: Primality test function doesn't work on large numbers?

Thank you!  Would you mind telling me what you changed aside from 
pow() and powm()?  diff isn't giving me readable results, since 
there was some other stuff I trimmed out of the original file.  
Also, while this is a *lot* better, I still get some lag 
generating 1024-bit primes and I can't generate larger primes in 
a reasonable amount of time.  Maybe my genbigint() function is to 
blame?  It isn't efficient:

bigint genbigint(int numbits) {
    bigint tmp;
    while (numbits --> 0) {
        tmp <<= 1;
        tmp += uniform(0, 2);
    }
    return tmp;
}
