that's the version of GMP used by GAP 4.5 (they are moving towards using an external longnums package), and I know they recently were working quite a bit with GMP people to get in the right patches. I wish GAP worked with MPIR, but the latter does not provide all the GMP calls used by GAP. It would be good if these were added... Dima > > The old spkg had a lot of patches.
