mpq_t array in sub-functions

[delta trinity]

Simple programing mistake, not GMP related really... ;-)

What happen is that in the function:
----------------------------
void assignValue(mpq_t x[], int size){
   mpq_t *R;
   initPoly(&R,15);

   assignValue2(R,size);
   assignValue3(x,size);

   clearPoly(R,15);
}
----------------------------

You initialize R as an array of 15 mpq_t (hardcoded value).
Then, in the main, when you come to call

   assignValue(B,20);

this create a bug, in the assignValue function, when comming to
{
   ...
   assignValue2(R,size);
   ...
}

which assign values to R as an array of 'size' (20 in this case) when R is 
allocated only 15 mpq_t
