Is there a standard way we're supposed to get together to divvy up the
keyspace?  Not knowing of any, I'll just announce that I'm working
on those keys that start with "a", from 0xafffffffff down to 0xa000000000.

I seem to be getting about 200000 to 400000 keys/sec, so it should take
about another 2 days (assuming the machines stay up that long...).

If anyone wants to join in, feel free.  Get original source from
http://pauillac.inria.fr/~doligez/ssl/slave.c (Damien's code),
and patch it with the diff at the bottom.  Note: I don't think there's
any crypto in the diff, and the rest of the sources are in France, so this
should be OK with the spooks. But you never know...

Compile the patched source on anything you can get, and run

./slave -t -d csclub.uwaterloo.ca 9114

The IP is 129.97.134.11 if you need it.  You can add -v or -V for more
verbosity, and -n num if you have num processors.
