They must have fixed it for Solaris, here's an older one:

The very old factoring code cut from an now obsolete version GMP does
not pass proper arguments to the mpz_probab_prime_p function. It ask
for 3 Miller-Rabin tests only, which is not sufficient.
I am afraid the original poor code was wrritten by me, where this

POSIX does indeed say that, but it applies only when you use 'rm' in a
standards-compliant invocation; the moment you add --no-preserve-root to
your invocation, you are no longer using a standards-compliant
invocation, so all bets are off as far as POSIX goes.
