%N Values of m in the discriminant D = -4*m leading to a new minimum of the L-function of the Dirichlet series L(1) = Sum_{k>=1} Kronecker(D,k)/k.
%C In Shanks's Table 3 "Lochamps, -4N = Discriminant", N = 1 is omitted. Shanks describes the table as being tentative after N = 47338. In Buell's Table 7 "Successive minima of L(1) for even discriminants" several omissions and extra terms are present for N < 30178, but the terms above are confirmed by an independent computation. - _Hugo Pfoertner_, Feb 03 2020
