thanks. With GMP 5.0.0 I get:

system bytes     =     659456
in use bytes     =       2512
Total (incl. mmap):
system bytes     =  999870464
in use bytes     =  999213520
max mmap regions =          6
max mmap bytes   = 3504922624

with GMP 4.3.2:

system bytes     =     200704
in use bytes     =       2512
Total (incl. mmap):
system bytes     =  999411712
in use bytes     =  999213520
max mmap regions =          6
max mmap bytes   = 2207744000

and with gmp-5.0.0-20100123:

system bytes     =     598016
in use bytes     =       2512
Total (incl. mmap):
system bytes     =  999809024
in use bytes     =  999213520
max mmap regions =          6
max mmap bytes   = 3005407232
