George said "The bug causes factors to be missed in the final stage of P-1 and ECM factoring." The way I read that is that stage 1 is OK, but *some* factors may be missed in stage 2 If that's correct, then any user whose system does not do stage 2 at all (because they've allocated no extra memory) should not rerun their stage 1. Even if it does, it's probably not worth rerunning the entire P-1 just to get a (possibly reduced) chance of finding a factor in stage 2 > Regards > Brian Beesley Daran _________________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.ndatech.com/mersenne/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers
