Here's some data which also shows that what I have is STILL a
curiousity, but at least the facts about my current curiousity can be
correct!

T=17349754321448

S=17349754327703

It took the program 3128 iterations to find that T and S.

Factors: 15077087, 2301473
S1()=15077087
S2()=2301473

Incoming is 34699508649151

Number of digits: 14
bitLength=45

Total time: 20999

And it took it nearly 21 seconds to show you how freaking slow the
damn thing still is!!!!!!!!!

The behavior resists explanation, and yes there is more than one S
that will work, as there's some pattern to the S's which is yet
another unknown.
