Another approach, simpler in my opinion, is to write a test checking the return value of the function mpn_divexact_by3c. The manual documents that the "return value c satisfy c*b^n + a-i = 3*q, where...", exactly, so we should test the return value.

In the library we have some ASSERTs, checking if the return value is zero or not, but I believe we do not have any place where the correct return value is really checked.

Does the attached test detect the suspicious code?
