It also contains some links to critique of the Schnorr's algorithm paper. It looks like either much more p_n-smooth integer pairs are needed or the size of the p_n-smooth integers should be much bigger than estimated by original Schnorr's paper. Or both estimations are off.
As the paper discussed Schneier relies on the assumptions of the (classic) Schnorr's algorithm, it may also be off in the calculations as well.
