Serious Troubles using GMP-4.1.2

[Codrin Pruteanu]

Hi,
I have serious problems with GNU GMP 4.1.2. from Red
Hat 9.0 Shrike distribution. When I try to use
mpz_get_str function with it's default memory
allocation or with my allocation in both cases I got
Segmentation fault.

Example:
--------
mpz_t bignumber;
mpz_init(bignumber);
char *string = new
char[mpz_sizeinbase(bignumber,base)+2];

1. char *result = mpz_get_str (NULL, base, bignumber);
2. char *result = mpz_get_str (string, base,
bignumber);

in both situations I got troubles when <bignumber>
value is  high. I traced the program execution with
Valgrind memory debugger and he says:
==10141== Invalid read of size 1
==10141==    at 0x40244FF3: __gmpz_set_str (in
/usr/lib/libgmp.so.3.3.2)

Could anyone help me with a solution here, please?

thank you in advance,
ing. Codrin Pruteanu
