I have not looked closely at your curves, but please note that mwrank makes 
no claims to give any useful output in all cases.  In particular, curves 
with large coefficients and no 2-torsion are very likely to take much too 
long for mwrank's 2-descent algorithm. 

The -p parameter is completely irrelevant except for curves with 2-torsion 
where a second descent is carried out.  For curves like yours mwrank 
searches for 2-coverings, but the search space is likely to be too large.
