55 * Use: Sets up for a strong prime search, so that primes with
56 * particular properties can be found. It's probably important
57 * to note that the number left in the filter context @f@ is
58 * congruent to 2 (mod 4).

74 * There's quite a lot of prime searching to be done. The constant
75 * @BITSLOP@ is a (low) approximation to the base-2 log of the expected
76 * number of steps to find a prime number. Experimentation shows that
77 * numbers around 10 seem to be good.
