[QUOTE=rogue;534968](going off of memory here) I think this is the -fB option. Can you verify that it exists in the latest released version and if it does, if that is what you are looking for?[/QUOTE]

yes -fB and no its not working

What do you mean by "not working"? Please be more specific.

If it's the same issue as before, I posted a fix at [URL]https://www.mersenneforum.org/showpost.php?p=524883&postcount=195[/URL]. It wasn't in SVN last time I checked.

I might have committed the source, but not posted a new build. I'll take a look as soon as I have a chance.

I have uploaded 1.9.6 to sourceforge. 1.9.5 is still available as I didn't have enough time to test the change in 1.9.6.
[LIST][*]Refactored logic for "single worker" and "rebuild" logic so they work more nicely together.[*]Fixed calculation of p/sec which is wrong after workers are recreated.[*]Reset factor stats whenever workers are created as the rate is inflated for lower p as far more terms are removed.[*]Fix issue with multiple threads which can cause program to hang.[*]Add support for ABC format to srsieve2.[/LIST]
srsieve now supports ABNP options for the file format. If they don't work as desired, please let me know. Option B is the one that generates a newpgen like header for BOINC. I think that ABC is the PRP format that you are looking for, but as I stated above, I haven't had time to test. I had made these changes months ago.

Thx rogue, still not working:

after trying to sieve the file it will abort all the time without an error.

Hmm. Please PM me your pl_remain.txt file.

I'm getting a segfault with srsieve2 from SVN:

[CODE]$ ./srsieve2 -W 3 -n 1 -N 1500000 -P 1e9 -o t17_b2.prp -f B -s "963643*2^n-1"

Sieving with generic logic
Segmentation fault (core dumped)[/CODE]

Generally, I have consistently been having issues with n ranges starting with 1.

The segfault is the same issue. I'm not certain why one just terminates without a segfault and the other does. For this range I now see this:

[code]
srsieve2 -W 3 -n 100 -N 1500000 -P 1e9 -o t17_b2.prp -f B -s "963643*2^n-1"

[/code]

I don't know what is causing that yet. Fortunately you can break it up into smaller ranges:

[code]
srsieve2 -W 3 -n 1 -N 200 -P 1e9 -o t17_b2.prp -f B -s "963643*2^n-1"
srsieve2 v1.2, a program to find factors of k*b^n+c numbers for fixed b and variable k and n

Fatal Error: All sequences have been removed

and eventually test the entire range. That is just a workaround. I still need to find the root cause of this issue and fix it.
