62d1f26939 Fix a performance bug in factor(6).
Check if large factor is prime before applying Pollard's algorithm;
fixes "factor 2147483647111311".  Increase base if p-1 algorithm
reaches 1; fixes "factor 99999999999991".

Testcases from David A Bagley <bagleyd@tux.org>.
Fixes from Joseph Myers <jsm@NetBSD.org>.
Problem rediscovered by an attempt to factor my phone number.

A few other incidental fixes: correct a couple of factually incorrect
comments; use ident string macros; move from 4-clause to 3-clause

918be43d84 [patch] fortune(6): George Bernard Shaw quote fix
From the original PR:

    s/milestones/millstones/
    and less important..
    s/man/Man/
    Not every source I've seen capitalizes 'Man', but it seems
    right. Uncapitalized 'man' would usually be preceded by
    an 'a'. But I haven't seen any reference cite the orignal
    source yet, so I can't say for sure.

2e0fd6b4c3 Suggections from bde@
1) Split too long source lines
2) Portable code should not assume that null pointer == all-bits-0,
so back out prev. calloc() change.

7b638af8ac All cosmetic.
1) Rename RANDOM_MAX to RANDOM_MAX_PLUS1 to not confuse with random()'s max
2) Use calloc() instead of zeroing fields explicitly
3) "too many lines" -> "too many delimiters" for err()

42825e9561 1) Fix longstanding math bug with denominator > 1 (wrong probability).
Test case:
	random -f some_small_file 10000
(in most cases must be no output)
2) Prevent number of lines > RANDOM_MAX (overflow or nothing may be
choosed) with EFBIG err()
3) After line is found, terminate list loop for -U case too,
since nothing to do in the rest of the loop left.

823689b09c I was confused a bit by the wrong construction with RAND_MAX
used in randomize_fd.c.
Although the max value is the same currently, RAND_MAX is for rand(),
not for random().
So move RANDOM_MAX const to the common file now, make it UL and
use in randomize_fd.c too.
(in any case its old value was 1 less then must be, as noted in
the prev. commit)
2008-08-08 01:42:17 +00:00
ache
c14ceb129d 1) Replace hardcoded RANDOM_MAX macro with wrong (1 less than must be)
value with ((double)RAND_MAX + 1)
2) For exit code increase valid denominator upper range from 255 to 256
since returned value is [0 .. denom - 1]

42186e4f70 Put back the quote from Chinggis Khan removed in rev. 1.259.
The quote predated rev. 1.232, which rev. 1.259 was to correct;
therefore it was protected by the "Don't remove fortunes" rule.
