BTW, let this be a lesson.
I failed to actually TRY running
Pminus1=6049993,2000,4000,0,0
to confirm that stage 2 would find the 61
2 = 3721 prime-power factor of 4934285493275531 before I made my erroneous posting:

It would've taken just 4 minutes, including set-up time, to run that on my Athlon 1200. But that didn't occur to me before I threw in that erroneous last paragraph about stage 2, which was an idea I got just as I was about to post all the preceding (and correct) part about stage 1
, which was itself a correction of my first hasty posting ...
