Is the problem reproducible?

If so, a valgrind log would be useful to debug the problem. It should
find the source of any segfault. zn_poly would need to be compiled
with the -g option to GCC. It could of course be a compiler bug.
Possibly compilation with a lower optimisation level would make it
disappear.
