Prime95 started to do the P-1 factoring after i upgraded, and before
i changed the available nighttime memory to 32MB.
Stage 1 did finish in nighttime, so there would be enough available
memory for stage 2.
Does this mean that the bound for stage 2 is determined on the available
memory when stage 1 is started, or is this because the available nighttime
memory was still at 8 mb when it started the exponent?
