He once posted some of his crap .asm code.  When I didn't notice how bad 
a section of it was:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
But the original asm code that I posted did contain a GLARING
ERROR and you missed it completely.

That error should be EXTREMELY OBVIOUS to any competent programmer
but you missed it totally.

I won't even give you a hint.  Let's see if you can locate it.
But you won't.  Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!  You can't.

The only reason that the error was there is because, in my haste,
I blindly cut and pasted some code.

The fact, however, that you MISSED IT COMPLETELY only proves
that you haven't a fucking clue.

primes.txt is 49.9MB, contains 5,761,455 prime numbers.

3/10ths of a second to generate 5.7M primes and write them to a file?  I 
must say: C on Linux is my performance hero.

BUGS
      primes won't get you a world record.

Per wikipedia, the world record biggest prime is 2^82,589,933 − 1, which 
has 24,862,048 digits when written in base 10.
