[QUOTE=jbristow;132717]If I put this line in my worktodo.txt:

Pminus1=1,227,10069,1,100000,"3698555874044"[/QUOTE]The v25.6 format for P-1 work is Pminus1=k,b,n,c,B1,B2[,B2_start][,"factors"]

So you should include two commas between the B1 value and the factors...

Oops George responded before me. He must be correct but I found the reply in the sources (commonc.c file)

Crash bug fixed in next release.

I'm getting a lot of these errors recently:[code][Comm thread May 9 11:55] Sending result to server: UID: mdettweiler/Core2Duo, M1117009 completed 15 ECM curves, B1=50000, B2=5000000, Wd2: 1CA125AA, AID: DF662F5318595F4DE7A295D390F0FA7B

read upwards a bit it is saying that because INF does not fit in a float
i dont know why it has a B1 of INF though
what B1 was it supposed to be

B1 was 50000; if you look at the URL that was sent to the server, it still says 50000 as it's supposed to, so the problem must be on the server end.

This is a client bug (I assume your worktodo lines do not have a B2 value specified). The client did not send the default B2=100*B1 value to the server.

It is also a server bug - not handling the message properly when B2 is not present. It should assume B2 = B1.

I've fixed the client problem - will work on the server problem.

Yes, you're right, B2 was set to 0 in worktodo.txt.

In the meantime (since I'm assuming the fix won't show up until version 25.7?), here's the results that were messed up (it gave up on the first one, and was still trying on the second):
[code]UID: mdettweiler/Core2Duo, M1061 completed 1 ECM curve, B1=260000000, B2=26000000000, Wd2: 1D15CD11, AID: A5BFB82D4671BB930DFD22ACEE2DF691

So, for now, I will always be sure to manually specify a B2 of 100*B1 when adding ECM work to worktodo.txt, either directly or via mprime's "Test/ECM" option. :smile:

Oh, one quick little question I forgot to add to the previous post: how many times does mprime/Prime95 keep retrying to submit a result like this to the server before it gives up and deletes it from prime.spl?

(Edit: After forcing communication with the server a number of times, mprime finally gave up on reporting the hopeless assignment [the second one of the two results posted in my last post], though I wasn't able to count the exact number of times.)

[QUOTE=Anonymous;133175] how many times does mprime/Prime95 keep retrying to submit a result like this to the server before it gives up and deletes it from prime.spl?[/QUOTE]

It retries 5 times.

[quote=Prime95;133186]It retries 5 times.[/quote]
Okay, thanks.

Oh, and by the way: have my results that I posted earlier been entered into the database? I still see one of them on my Assignments page (I think I unreserved the M1061 assignment earlier thinking it was lost after mprime said it was deleted from prime.spl); should I unreserve it?

I just recorded the M1117009 result. You can delete the assignment.

Report the single M1061 curve in the M1061 factoring thread. My database is a bit behind in keeping up with the results reported in that thread.
