Because the PARI documentation says that it no longer gives the smallest
prim root, except for primes. Or at least the changeset I saw a while ago
says this - please don't ask me to find it. Presumably something about
the internal algorithm changed?
Oh, I see what you mean now! "Pretty bad to not have fixed" meant the
actual ticket. Wrong mathematics! Not the tiny change I am mentioning
above. I'm sorry for the possible misinterpretation.
