[seqfan] Re: Checking A185102 recursion depth of repeatedly factorising a number

[Ray Chandler]

Charles,
Your b-file link should be first.

JFA,
When I run your code on Mma 8, it generates a(1)=1 rather than a(1)=0.  Not
sure if you are using a different version that generates the correct result.
