What puzzles me is the complete silence of Gismondi and Swart in this thread.
From the potential winners of the next Turing award, who knows
maybe the field medal, I expect some interest in getting the proofs debugged.
Of course all of this discussion might have occured off-line but somehow I
doubt it.

So how about it Swart? Why not put your mouth where your money is.
