I have no idea.

it might be this one, since mpn_gcdext appears in the LLLTest binary.
However I see no change in the documentation of mpn_gcdext between 4.2.4
and 4.3.0. The source file g_lip_impl.h of NTL also contains:

      _ntl_gsetlength(&d, sa+1); /* +1 because mpn_gcdext may need it...
                                    documentation is unclear, but this is
                                    what is done in mpz_gcdext */
      _ntl_gsetlength(&xa, sa+1); /* ditto */

      ddata = DATA(d);
      xadata = DATA(xa);

      sd = mpn_gcdext(ddata, xadata, &sxa, adata, sa, bdata, sb);

Maybe you can comment on this?

Paul
