Well, if people would stick to PrimeNet assignments, this sort of
thing wouldn't happen...
At least the other "culprit" is bothering to report the results, and
the duplicated effort isn't too much - only about one quarter of your
investment.
BTW would anyone who has run P-1 on exponents in the range 100000 to
125000 (prime, with no known factors) without reporting the limits
used please report them to me. I'm working through them with B1=1E6,
B2=25E6 but seem not to be finding any factors - possibly someone has
done them before?
