Actually, this could be a VERY OLD "feature" ... :-)

I seem to remember it being documented that HASH.HELP and
HASH.HELP.DETAIL (or similar) had a habit of disagreeing with each other
on Prime INFORMATION. Now that's going back some ... !

Anyway, the advice always was "don't trust HASH.HELP. Suck it and see"

Cheers,
Wol

Sorry I forgot the subject line the first time. I've also tested this on
our Linux system running the same revision with the same results.

I just came across what may be a bug in HASH.HELP. I ran HASH.HELP on a
static hash file and it told me the smallest modulus should be 80015
(yes, not a prime number), smallest separation or 4, and the best type
of 10.

I then ran HASH.HELP.DETAIL on the same file and got 80021, 4, and 18
respectively.

In this second case the modulus is a prime number. No changes were being
made on the system because it is our test system and I was the only one
on it at the time. This was on Solaris 8 running Universe 10.1.12 in
Reality flavor.
