This is from Knuth vol. 3 2nd ed. pp. 361.  After adding the
dummy runs, we should have S == 1 (modulo P - 1).  Oops: 0 == 1
(modulo 1), so the first part of the test should actually be
max_order == 2.

I've checked in the fix (it just changes that one character).
Let me know if there's another problem.
