false positives for products of primes larger than 2^16. For example,
before this commit:
$ /usr/games/primes 4295360521 4295360522
4295360521
but
$ /usr/games/factor 4295360521
4295360521: 65539 65539
or
$ /usr/games/primes 3825123056546413049 3825123056546413050
3825123056546413049
yet
$ /usr/games/factor 3825123056546413049
3825123056546413049: 165479 23115459100831
or
$ /usr/games/primes 18446744073709551577
18446744073709551577
although
$ /usr/games/factor 18446744073709551577
18446744073709551577: 139646831 132095686967
Incidentally, the above examples show the smallest and largest cases that
were erroneously stated as prime in the range 2^32 .. 3825123056546413049
.. 2^64; the primes(6) program now stops at 3825123056546413050 as
primality tests on larger integers would be by brute force factorization.
In addition, special to the NetBSD version:
. for -d option, skip first difference when start is >65537 as it is incorrect
. corrected usage to mention both the existing -d as well as the new -h option

prime and the previous prime. [I needed that for some reason I don't recall
and these changes lying about. Since they might be useful/interesting to
someone, I might as well as commit them.]
This merges in all such remaining changes from the Linux port of the
NetBSD games, except in hunt (where substantial changes from OpenBSD
need to be looked at).
Some such changes were previously covered in PRs bin/6041, bin/6146,
bin/6148, bin/6150, bin/6151, bin/6580, bin/6660, bin/7993, bin/7994,
bin/8039, bin/8057 and bin/8093.
