A PI algorithm doesn't need to use Gmp.

The PI generation code is not the problem. Observe:
Pike v7.3 release 55 running Hilfe v3.5 (Incremental Pike Frontend)
Gmp.mpz(17)->pow(10000000);
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
The problem with large numbers is inherent in gmp, how will including/not including the particular PI function make any difference?
