>From pounding with Maple, I found 3 terms missing from the b-file.
One (from y=37) occurs just before the end of the b-file, and contains
1001 digits, so perhaps the right answer is that the current b-file
shouldn't contain the 1001-digit entry.  The other two are from larger
y (1241 and 2581) which give small-ish solutions.

As long as Maple is correctly solving Pell equations, these are the
only solutions for y <= 3000 missing from the b file.  But as far as I
know there could still be smaller solutions from larger y.
