  Ah, I didn't even suspect the seeding as the cause for this difference
  of behavior. Thanks for the tip, I'll try and remember it next time.

I don't think it was, actually.  The sequence of random number for the
gmp tests will be the same on all platforms.

There is some undefined behaviour in the code.  Perhaps memory
corruption, perhaps something else.
