Hello,

I'm interested in calculating "powmod"'s such as:

However, when I ran the function, it gave an error:
***   length (lg) overflow

Actually, I'm really interested to see if a number is a base 2 pseudoprime. I saw the ispseudoprime function, but that uses the strong test, and I just need to know:
2^(n-1) == 1 (mod n)

I'm only going to be working with 64-bit inputs. Is there some setting I need to change in pari to be able to find out the above? Or is there some function I might have overlooked that performs that calculation? Thanks for your time.
