Good, it means I'm not mad after all. I reported earlier about this problem
on a Debian system, and as there were no other reports I feared it might be
Debian specific (I've even gone so far as to rebuild gmp2, but it didn't
make a difference; neither did using gcc 2.7.2.3 rather than EGCS 1.1.1).
I can confirm that this problem isn't Intel-specific either, as I've been
able to reproduce it on a Debian PowerPC system.

Not yet. You might want to see if you can trigger the problem earlier by
putting in a few mpz_debug(varname) calls.
In my case, I've gotten it to dump immediately after the call to
dss_nist_gen by inserting a debug_mpz(t) there (note: the call shouldn't
have touched t in any way). The weirdest thing about it all was that it
looked like in one of the calls, it seemed like passing t as a parameter n
that while t looked sane, n was insane.

I'd be interested to hear from him. There are so many pseudos around taking
