Error: tiny factoring failed

I would chalk up copious error messages, especially those we haven't seen yet, to being a top-notch coder.

I once read somewhere that a good programmer is a person who looks both ways before crossing a one-way street.

I'm busy searching the source for error messages. I'll post any that I haven't seen.

error: cannot open matrix checkpoint file
error: unexpected vector size
error: checkpoint recovery failed
The next two are related to schickel's lanczos failure:
lanczos error: dependencies don't work
lanczos error: only trivial dependencies found

There are quite a few, aren't there?

You should try to find out in v1.40...

I think that any piece of code that somebody has spent five years writing is pretty much guaranteed to be high quality. By that point the crappy parts are so painful to look at that they've all been replaced.

Regarding programmer mottos, I'm partial to:

"Good programmers try not to anything twice; crazy programmers try not to do anything once"

Some more examples of inputs that cause the "error: tiny factoring failed" bug:

Btw, terrorists seem to have hijacked your plane:

secret key accepted, starting flight simulator...
error 0 converting '0'

secret key accepted, starting flight simulator...
error 0 converting '0'

secret key accepted, starting flight simulator...
error 0 converting '0'

...

P.S. I really do like msieve! It's awesome.

Whoops, it seems the flight simulator protection system has a weak-key attack.
