Christian Huitema pointed out to me that 0x5DEECE66D is actually 36 bits not 32. I used <http://www.binaryhexconverter.com/hex-to-decimal-converter> to convert it to 25214903917, and <http://www.bigprimes.net/primalitytest/> reported it to be 7 * 3602129131 (in both hex and decimal) which I verified with bc. Bigprimes, however, says that 25214903951 (0x5DEECE68F) is prime.

I apologize for the error.

	Jon
