I wish to roundly thank all those that responded to our need for
verification. We had several excellent responses. The primes have now
been better verified using Miller-Rabin with different platforms, and
with separately coded math libraries. More exhaustive testing is
ongoing.
Thanks are due to Wei Dai and Frank A Stevenson, as well as independent
math libraries by Rich Schroeppel and Eric Young.
