| Infinite loop in initprimes0() |
Dear pari-dev,
When calling initprimes0(), an infinite loop is possible.
The culprit is
/* recursive call (remember that maxnum > maxpr) */
(void) initprimes0(maxss(rootnum, maxpr), &psize, &last, p1);
Despite what the comment says, there is no guarantee at all that
maxnum > maxpr in recursive calls.
I propose fixing this line to
(void) initprimes0(rootnum, &psize, &last, p1);
Cheers,
Jeroen.
