I took you code and compiled it, and reproduced you error.  But your
setup isn't "GMP"; it is your own stuff.

Then I changed your code to use the GMP style, and it works right.
  
Think about it, if count_leading_zeros didn't work right, not much
would work right in GMP.

  It sounds as if you are suggesting that you know exactly what is  
  wrong, and you are teasing me :-)

I don't.  And I don't think it will take me less time to debug the
code than it would take for you.
