Dear Chia-Hsun,

Marco Bodrato (thanks Marco!) made me notice I overlooked this part
of your message.  Indeed this is a bug in the PPL: the right spelling
is `tinyness_before' as correctly written in GMP.  I have just fixed
the Git version of the PPL and a new PPL 1.1 snapshot release will soon
be added to the location I already indicated.
Kind regards,

     Roberto
