some exponents have "factored to 1 bit" (again, file "nofactor" has sane values)

The one by user "Pakka" was returned today. A pity if this user loses credit for a 32M exponent, if this was a legitimate returned result. But then, the status.txt file from just a couple of days previous doesn't show this exponent assigned to anyone. Are these "0x" blank residues an artifact of manual checkins?

32M exponents only take 2-3 days to factor on recent hardware - perhaps less than 2 if it was done on a "bleeding edge" machine.

I wouldn't sweat that one too much.

Except that one was presumably a LL test, since the residue/factor field shows a left-justified "0x".
