Distributors like Debian and Redhat generally don't keep old versions of libraries laying around, so it's not all that great a solution. > The problem has been fixed in SVN - we're now using LibTomMath (bundled with > ClamAV) instead of libgmp. Can we make it a configure option to use the system version of the library instead? (Debian currently ships 0.39, which appears to have been around a while and should be reasonably close to whatever version you're going to pick) I vastly prefer that in the general case; all the usual arguments about security support and memory footprint and etc. apply - I'll take it as read that we all know them :) If you're not interested in that work, or it seems difficult and you have better things to do, let me know and I'll have a look.
