COMMENTS
Conjecture: (i) a(n) > 0 for all n > 2.
(ii) For any integer n > 4, there is a primitive root 0 < g < prime(n) modulo prime(n) which is also a primitive root modulo prime(n+1).

EXAMPLE
a(3) = 1 since prime(1) = 2 is a primitive root modulo prime(3) = 5 and also a primitive root modulo prime(2*3) = 13. Note that prime(2) = 3 is not a primitive root modulo prime(2*3) = 13 since 3^3 == 1 (mod 13).
