  Is there anything else you'd like to know, or do you want to write it
  off as a compiler bug?
  
  I haven't exercised the g++ compiler - I'll try to download whatever's
  needed to run gcc's "make check".   I have extensively exercised the gcc
  compiler and that seems ok.
  
Many things can be wrong here, and I'd shamelessly claim the least
likely is some undefined GMP behaviour (i.e., a GMP bug).

Perhaps the C++ front end of GCC 4.5.0 is buggy.  Perhaps your compiler
was miscompiled (did you perform a 3-stage compile?).  Perhaps your
setup causes incompatible C++ libraries to be used with the new compiler.

The only way to know is to debug it.  Please do that!
