did you succeed in factoring the 59-digit number in README?

What are your hardware, compiler, operating system?

What is the exact command you gave with the svn version? On my laptop (64-bit
Core 2) I get with svn revision 856:

To help isolating the problem, you might add the following lines just before
the "assert (u < ppl)" line (773) in polyselect/polyselect2.c:

             if (u >= ppl)
                  printf ("p=%lu ppl=%lu rj=%lu rq[i]=%lu u=%lu\n",
                          p, ppl, rj, rq[i], u);

Then do "make" again, run the above polyselect2 command, and send us the
output you get.
