Although I don't do it now, I was a regular developer of the sagemath open-source maths program, started by Prof. William Stein at the University of Washington. http://www.sagemath.org/ Prof Stein is an expert in number theory, and many of the users of that package are too. I will drop a few of them an email, and see if any of them can come up with a solution.
