>Description:
	
	primes(1) can generate prime numbers.
	However, its prime table (/usr/src/games/primes/pr_tbl.c) contains
	primes less than 2^16. And the program didn't generate more prime in
        runtime. So it can only determine prime less than 2^32.
	For numbers larger than 2^32, it may incorrect print non-prime numbers.

>How-To-Repeat:
	
	$ primes `echo 2^32 | bc -q` | xargs -n 1 factor  | grep '[0-9] '
	4295360521: 65539 65539
	4295622677: 65539 65543
