P-1 File Name Bug

NBtarheel_33 · 2010-06-06, 05:13

Just discovered a bug that seems to be related to P-1 file names between the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Prime95 v25.11. I had a partially completed P-1 file on my 64-bit computer, with file name starting with M, and moved it to a 32-bit computer to finish. Well, the 32-bit system paid no mind to the M-file, and instead began the P-1 test over again from scratch, generating a *new* file starting with P (which is normally what you'd see for an LL test). I was able, however, to stop the test on the 32-bit machine, and rename the 64-bit file so that it started with P rather than M, and *then* the 32-bit system knew enough to continue on with the test from the stopping point saved in the 64-bit file. So I suppose the good news is that this is not some sort of 32- vs. 64-bit incompatibility, but rather just an inconsistency in the file names of P-1 tests between the two versions. Anyway, just thought I'd make the bug report so that others (and George) can be aware of it.
