Does that mean that gcdext with inputs u = v = 0 gave the result gcd =
0, s = 1? Or am I misreading the output?

I don't remember off the top of my head what gcdext is supposed to
return in this corner case. I'll try to look into it in the next few
days, if no one else feels like fixing it earlier.
