By me. I have incorporated trial division in the prime testing algorithms,
and catered for the small values. Two unrelated typos could affect the result
for arguments around 2^32. I have fixed both.

pari-2.1.5:
(22:45) gp > t=0;forstep(x = 2^32-10^7+1,2^32,2, t += isprime(x)); t
time = 2mn, 7,260 ms.
%1 = 450525

Current CVS:
time = 32,300 ms.
%1 = 450525

Cheers,

    Karim.
