Summary: Primep returns FALSE for prime numbers

Initial Comment:
When using gcl as the underlying lisp for maxima,
primep does sometimes return FALSE for some prime numbers.

Examples of such numbers are:

80630964769,
208701804589114523591,
24618801922746674419551157151,
340282366762482138434845932244680310783

However primep returns the right result for some prime
numbers like 80630965313.

The problem has been fixed by changes to GCL. I have added
primep(80630964769) to the test suite.
