Hi, I just updated several Linux machines to mprime V19. I have all of my machines set to get 45 days worth of work. Two of the machines, which were nearly down to having only 45 days worth of work remaining, immediately contacted PrimeNet, got an additional exponent each, and factored that exponent to 64. After factoring, each machine returned to performing an LL test on the exponent it was working on prior to the upgrade. So far, so good--this behavior is consistent with prior versions of mprime. This morning I awoke to find that each machine contacted PrimeNet overnight and unreserved the newly factored exponent, leaving each machine with about 40 days of work remaining. Why is this? Shouldn't each machine have kept the recently factored exponent in order to perform LL tests on that exponent in turn? Why would they return exponents when doing so reduces the days of work remaining below the limit I set? Has anyone else noticed such behavior? Just curious, Kel _________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.scruz.net/~luke/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers
