I think there is a bug in the test file refmpn.c, in subroutine
sb_divrem_mn (at line 1674):
ASSERT (refmpn_add_n(np+i, np+i, dp, dsize) != 0);
If assertions are turned off, this line will be empty and the necessary
addition will then be absent.
n0 = refmpn_add_n(np+i, np+i, dp, dsize);
ASSERT (n0 != 0);
is needed instead.
Thanks for spotting this.
The reason this hasn't been triggered is that the likelyhood
of the problematic outcome is extremely slim.
I replaced the ASSERT by ASSERT_CARRY.
