primes in pi: 1, 2, 6, 38, 16208, 47577, 78073, ...

[Jonathan Post]

I am somewhat serious about pi base e.  So far as I can see, pi base e =
10.101002020002111120020101120... as per
A050948<http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequences/A050948> Pi
expressed in base 1/e: Pi = Sum a(i)*exp(-i), i=-1,0,1,...
Now, in what base should we examine substrings of this for primality?  In
the unnatural base 10, we have the primes:
101, 101010020200021111, ...

The 62-digit string takes about a minute on the PC I'm using right now while
to factor:
10 101002 020002 111120 020101 120001 010202 000111 012020 010120 002001 =
409 x 773 197250 487261 611198 297287 x
31 941172 112561 420564 909184 938047

ahhh, and the 3rd prime is:

101010020200021111200201011200010102020001110120200101200020011011201012100100021001

Or, as the Alpertron puts it:

101010 020200 021111 200201 011200 010102 020001 110120 200101 200020 011011
201012 100100 021001
is prime

Anyone want to extend this, or verify or find I've erred?
