Quick way to crash Prime95
 
Not sure if this has been noted before, but I accidentally put some entries in worktodo.ini like this:[code]Pfactor=M14891627,65,1[/code]Note the erroneous "M". Doing that caused memory usage to fly through the roof and crash Prime95 within a second. Prime95 should have some validation checking when parsing worktodo.ini, since there's always people like me out there who do dumb things :whistle:

Maybe for the next version of the software.
