   I have read his thesis.  From my memory:   
      
   - Miller gives a method and claims it is complete, but does not really   
     give proofs   
   - He says nothing about recombining divisors, this is needed for   
     completeness   
      
   While second issue is trivial to fix (just adapt corresponding part   
   of Trager method), it makes more likely that he overlooked something   
   more important, so I have limited faith in correctness of his   
   results.
