That doesn't make sense, unless I'm misinterpreting what you are saying. Primes
aren't that common, are they?
I don't have time right now to look for a bug in

Ok after making that change, and a few others. Selecting only odd numbers
(which acts as a small seive) I'm not getting much useful information. It
appears to be such that at 512 bits if it passes once it passes 128 times,
and it appears to fail on average about 120-130 times, so the sieve

I would never use online banking, and I advise all my friends and
colleagues (particularly those who _aren't_ computer-security-geeks)
to avoid it.
