mpz_set_str second parameter is a pointer to a null terminated string.  If 
you pass a quoted string, the compiler will create a null-terminated string 
in the code/data space, and at runtime, the value passed is a pointer to 
that string.  If you specify unquoted string, the compiler will think that 
this is an explicit pointer value.  It will pass the number you specify 
(truncated to 32 bits in a 32 bits system) as the pointer value.  What is at 
that address is usually garbage.  Unexpected result may occur, and in a 
protected system, this is most likely to generate a protection fault 
exception.
