p-1 issue with Prime95
 

There seems to be a problem with p-1 test on certain numbers by Prime95.
I'm testing numbers of the form 2*3^n+1 (Williams numbers MP 3).
p-1 test by Prime95 fails to find most of the smooth factors for such numbers.

Examples: {exponent n, factor p, {factors of p-1}}

Is the PRP test for these numbers free of errors?

I will look into this when I get a chance, but it will likely be at least a week.

George, are you on vacation?

We're starting to itch for another new Mersenne prime. :smile:

Will be fixed in 29.8 build 6

[QUOTE=Prime95;522390]Will be fixed in 29.8 build 6[/QUOTE]

What was the problem?
PRP tests with earlier versions still good?

The problem was in the P-1 code. The bug has been there forever.

Your previous PRP tests are all good.

When can we expect build 6?
