The primality test of the original number using gp that archgoon posted takes 6ms on my Sandy Bridge laptop, that's plenty fast. (The new number takes a minute to check, though, so that might really be too long)

Maxima's primep takes 360ms on the 1024-bit one for me, so seems quick enough to stick into the build.

It sounds like the chance if it passing the test is around 10^-15 using the default values; which seems sufficient for a build test which is run many times.
