COMMENTS

By Wilson's theorem, we know that there is an m=p-1 such that p divides m!+1. Sequence A115092 gives the number of m for each prime. Occasionally p^2 also divides m!+1. These primes seem to be only slightly more plentiful than Wilson primes (A007540). No other primes < 10^6.

There is no prime p < 10^8 such that p^2 divides m!+1 for some m <= 1200. [From F. Brunault (brunault(AT)gmail.com), Nov 23 2008]
