Description of problem:

gmp-4.1.4-10.el5, this version use TMP_ALLOC api to replace head malloc, when the numbers is verlong (exceeds 10M which is default stack size), coredumped.

such as:
mpz/set_str.c: line 110 ~ 112

  TMP_MARK (marker);
  str_size = strlen (str - 1);
  s = begs = (char *) TMP_ALLOC (str_size + 1);

  /* Remove spaces from the string and convert the result from ASCII to a
     byte array.  */
Comment 1 Frantisek Kluknavsky 2013-03-11 15:31:06 UTC 
I am sorry, but it is now too late in the RHEL-5 release cycle.
RHEL-5.10 (the next RHEL-5 minor release) is going to be the first
production phase 2 [1] release of RHEL-5. Since phase 2 we'll be
addressing only security and critical issues.
This issue is fixed in newer versions of GMP therefore I am closing the bug as
NEXTRELEASE.
