Hi,

 

I am trying to factorize a 172-digit number. However, immediately after entering the merging stage, program fails. I have no idea about what to do at the moment. It looks like a  “-maxlevel 40” was given but max level should be less than 32. May I ask for any suggestion to modify the code or otherwise?

 

Error Info attached below,
