Comment (by zimmerma):

 > How about letting `_parse_output()` always sort the list of pairs
 `(factor, probable_prime)` before returning it, regardless of the number
 of factors and the value of `probable_prime` for each?

 but then we would lose some information, since the first factor is the one
 which is really found by ECM.

 And with 3 prime factors or more, we would still have non-deterministic
 output.
