Strange GMP coredumps

Looking into the current cvs source, it seems mpn_tdiv_qr still allocates linear amount of storage on the stack.

I'll ask on the gmp-devel list what can be done about it.

For the next gmp release, whenever that happens, I think the plan is that no mpn functions should allocate temporary storage by themselves, instead the caller will have to provide scratch space in an additional argument.

The version is 4.1.2, and the function is mpn_tdiv_qr(), which is the main division function. There are probably other functions that do the same thing.
