p not being prime means it has not been generated using a standard tool like OpenSSL.

It's therefore likely it's been handcrafted for nefarious purposes, opening the possibility of further shenanigans.

Another possibility would be the use of a buggy generator, or a clueless dev using random bits rather than a large prime.

Or someone made a mistake copying and pasting.

Edit: wow. that is serendipity. Just accidentally posted twice. Does hitting "submit" twice do that?

I get that a lot. I've not worked out what's causing it.
