For primes with znprimroot=2, the exponent of 2 in the prime tends to be small.
Not sure what these might be useful for. Perhaps to demonstrate Diffie-Hellman with a large but weak modulus. It takes only 10 seconds to compute a discrete logarithm with one of these 2048-bit moduli:
? znlog(3,znprimroot(1+2^2*3^454*5^571));
time = 10,525 ms.
