One ugly fact about this too... exponents already tested above
35.79M may need to be re-tested!
Within 10 seconds of starting v19.2, two new small factors
were found for exponents already tested and found to have
factors (just not that small)... Six new smaller factors were
found testing just 24 exponents previously tested that had
factors. And for exponents that have had no factors found
yet, there might be a smaller one that wasn't discovered :(
