Task 5506164

Now starting the targeted Martinet search:
N2_L = -293.
N2_U = 293.
*** not enough precomputed primes
*** Error in the PARI system. End of program.

I have seen that before, although very infrequently. This is a hard one to track down, because I have never been able to replicate it - I bet the next user who gets it will finish it successfuly and if I run it stand alone it will also succeed.

I hope the error is fund. I now that the newest PARI-version don´t run at Windows, because an compiling problem. I think we use PARI 2.5(6?), or?

If we can´t solve that problem, we look to some alternatives, like MATLAB. But this is expensive... :(
I hope the other WU would be computed succesfuly.

not enough precomputed primes...

Just to follow up on this...

The next user who got this WU processed it successfully. I also had no problems running it in stand alone mode. So like I said, every time I have seen this error, I have been unable to duplicate it. This obviously makes it very hard to debug.

The problem is not specific to a particular platform- I have seen it on both Windows and Linux. I suspect something might be happening in the host's environment that is leading to this error message (low memory, disk I/O, etc). Pari reserves a chunk of memory for it's workspace and I believe that is where the precomputed primes are placed- maybe this memory is somehow being clobbered???
