Hi all,

        This is primarily directed at the 4 or 5 users dedicated to
factoring exponents above 35 million.  Prime95 version 19.1 has a 
bug that causes it to miss some factors for these large exponents.
If you are one of the 4 or 5 affected users, please download version 19.2
to fix the problem.

        Thanks to Will Edgington for finding the test cases.  The bug was
discovered because values in the "expected number of Mersenne primes" column
on the http://www.mersenne.org/status.htm page kept going up!

Regards,
George
