the mingw-w64 people, specifically Kai Tietz. I didn't, because at the time I
hacked around the GMP problems gcc was so broken that it hardly seemed a useful
report. ;-) Now it's a lot better and maybe he should know about this. For gmp,
the problem was alloca (which also allocates on the stack). Fortunately, gmp
had a compile-time option to change it's use of alloca to malloc. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
