BN_is_prime_fasttest(), when called with B,

if no divisors are found by this test and B is not B,

If B, this test is skipped.

Both BN_is_prime() and BN_is_prime_fasttest() perform a Miller-Rabin
probabilistic primality test with B iterations. If

yields a false positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
If B is not B, B is called

pre-allocated B (to save the overhead of allocating and
