<< I think I have found a possible location of the problem. There is a subtle
difference in the semantics with or without the LargeIntegers module.>>
With the detailed comments of values at the time of failure in my last
E-mail, I have to admit I am at my limit with knowledge of complex (sic)
arithmetic. I have done CRC algorithms and played around with Signature
stuff, and I know how long it takes to acquire an understanding of what is
actually going on inside of one of these things (and I know that I don't have
that much understanding of this situation).

Since you are not in a position to run DSA, and I am not in a position to
create the right 'testus agonistus', can I offer myself up as a tester.
Please let me know what tests and result content and formats you want, and
I'll try to get them to you.
I suppose we should take this off-line from the mailing list with all these
(massive) cryptic numeric results. I would like to drag in whoever is
responsible for DSA code (is it John Maloney?) for the knowledge that s/he
may provide, and also ask Bob Arning if he is interested in participating in
tracking this down?
DSA programmer?
Bob?
Anyone else?
Cheers,
Jerry.
