Hi, David - Yep, it looks a like I better set s.t. like 2.6M as the upper
limit for 128K. v2.7 gives away a bit of accuracy for the sake of speed.
Right now, your only option is to run from scratch using v2.6c (as long
as it's the first exponent in the range file, the run should be OK), or
(what may be faster) use 2.7x at 160K, e.g. by explicitly listing the run
length in interactive mode - delete or rename the worktodo.ini file and
enter s.t. like

Mlucas      <== perhaps add output redirection on this line...
2608007,163840
<return>
<return>

You can redirect the output to a file and use crtl-Z and bg to restart
the job in background mode, allowing you to log out.

I'm working on adding some kind of automated error detection/FFT length
resetting to the next release, but it adds a lot of program logic and
hence takes time to do - I didn't want to wait for that before releasing
a beta version.

Thanks for the info - keep those bug/problem reports coming.

-Ernst
