The app divides the number 607920 / 51 = 11920. The gwnum lib has a bug somewhere and the dev is informed.

Isn't this exactly what it should do? If k=g*b^m, then testing g * b ^ (n + m) + c might be faster than testing k * b ^ n + c, because a shorter FFT length might be sufficient.

app_config.xml only overrides settings for the specified app names and plan classes, it does not prevent the client from getting tasks for different app names or plan classes.

The only "clean" way to force a specific plan class would be an app_info.xml. However, anonymous platform is not allowed on this project, so this won't work either.

That leaves only one very ugly and potentially dangerous workaround if glibc cannot be updated: Replace the cuda111 binary with a copy of the cuda100 binary and tell BOINC not to check the file size when starting a task (i.e., set <dont_check_file_sizes>1</dont_check_file_sizes> in the options part of cc_config.xml).

Congrats to the lucky finder. There is a copy&paste error in the announcement, though, the mega prime should be 34*951^371834-1.
