I don't understand, again, why the primes (p1) of form 4n+1 differ in
behaviour from those (p3) of form 4n+3 in the following:

u=Sum=1..p1;  k (p1-k) ) is strictly increasing in function of p1, while
v=Sum(k=1..p3;  k (p3-k) ) is not (in function of p3).

v is descending from v(37) to v(38)

5768, 5992, 8636, 9170, 10008, 12382, 13366, 15698,
 16826, 20628, 21492, 22788, 26314, 26786, 32026, 33132, 37872, 39566,
40752, 47892, 54114, 55608, 61766, 71082, 70464

I checked 'u' way up to 10,000 and found no 'drops'.
