These do not match.
Obviously my way of finding repeats is not at fault. both strings start by 9 threes, so the next values should be equal. As they aren't, it is my way of generating the series what is at fault. One of both series of nine threes must be incorrect....
Quibbler: strings are not slow, provided you never resize the big ones... Try it!!
