Computer running prime95 ver 16.4 intel 486 today found a
factor of the number it was processing, contacted primenet,
sent the result, obtained a new number to factor, and then
continued to factor the same number it had just found a factor
for. I do not have the files immediately to hand but the
number was in the 6300000 range and the factorization had
reached the 6th or 7th iteration of 16. Can someone tell me,
is this what is supposed to happen? I was under the impression
that once a factor is found, the number is not prime, the test
is complete, it's time to move on. I had a look in the whatsnew
and faq, but I can't find anything which mentions this (I did
not look very hard, so if it is RTFM, or in the maillist
archive then I humbly apologize).
