Bug#762653: bsdgames: primes prints some composites

[Andy Isaacson]

Package: bsdgames
Version: 2.17-22
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

the /usr/games/primes program prints composite numbers when asked for large
values.

% primes $((0xffffffffff)) | head | while read p; do factor $p; done
1099511627791: 1099511627791
1099511627803: 1099511627803
1099511627807: 68729 15997783
1099511627813: 1007173 1091681
1099511627831: 1099511627831
1099511627839: 549733 2000083
1099511627873: 1099511627873
1099511627891: 1099511627891
1099511627917: 1099511627917
1099511627923: 284527 3864349

primes should only print primes, as it is documented to do.
