Strange loop in factorint/ECM ?

[Gottfried Barthel <barthel@fmi.uni-konstanz.de>]

Hello Pari users, 

I came across a strange problem and don't know what to do. I am trying to
factor the following composed integer with 98 digits using factorint : 

6204279888025911871492956512013727029580743831970370591158040237796021\
9673213931222368764555941101

Rho/SQUFOF did not find any "cheap" factor. Then factorint entered the ECM
phase with the message

IFAC: trying Lenstra-Montgomery ECM
ECM: working on 64 curves at a time; initializing for up to 50 rounds...
ECM: time =      0 ms
ECM: dsn = 12,  B1 = 1800,      B2 = 198000,    gss =  128*420
ECM: time =  68920 ms, B1 phase done, p = 1801, setting up for B2
ECM: time =   1210 ms, entering B2 phase, p = 2017
ECM: time =  42990 ms

and continued for quite a while, but now it seems sort of stuck in a loop
since it has consecutively issued the same values 

   dsn = 72,  B1 = 1073500,   B2 = 118085000, gss = 1024*420 :

three times:
...
ECM: dsn = 68,  B1 = 679500,    B2 = 74745000,  gss = 1024*420

ECM: time = 27518310 ms
ECM: dsn = 72,  B1 = 1073500,   B2 = 118085000, gss = 1024*420

I am using Pari 2.1.14 on a SUN Ultra: 

                  GP/PARI CALCULATOR Version 2.1.4 (released)
                 UltraSparc (MicroSparc kernel) 32-bit version
                (readline v2.2 enabled, extended help available)

Any hint what to do? 

By the way, could someone explain to me the meaning of the output? I did
not find any documentation in the User's guide. I understand that B1 and
B2 should be the bounds in the present ECM round, but what is the meaning
of dsn, gss, and p ?

Thanks in advance and best regards from Konstanz,

PS: Since I am new to this list, I am not sure if such a technical 
question should rather have been addressed to the dev list. I hope that
the right people will read my message ...
