The problem of rsa key-generation getting stuck in a loop for (pointlessly)
small key sizes seems to result from the code continually regenerating the
same prime value once the range is small enough. From my tests, this change
fixes the problem by setting an escape velocity of 3 repeats for the second
of the two primes.
