  I'm not entirely sure I understand fib-gen is supposed work. luc_limit

  	luc_limit = i-1;
                
  Looking at mini-gmp.c:mpz_cmp, I've spotted one bug, but I think
  that's unrelated since it affects negative numbers only.

Since this happens on just a few systems, I don't think it is a simple
logical bug.

I would guess it is a dependency on uninitialised data.

The failing systems seem to have no working debugging environment (which
I understand).
