  Apart from the collateral damage from the C library sscanf, I don't
  think we know of any specific problems.
  
I agree that this problem isn't terrible for GMP itself.  (As
sscanf is a quite important function, many other things may start
failing.  I would assume this could actually cause security
issues.)

But please make sure you can get a clean check in all function
classes' test subdirectories before you use the corresponding
function class.
