Lengthy arrays and SIGSEGV - FIXED!

[Blake Huff]

All:

Moving the declaration out of the main() loop solves the problem as  
shown below:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <gmp.h>


#define ARRAY_SIZE 10000000

mpz_t test[ARRAY_SIZE];

int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) {

	mpz_array_init(test[0], ARRAY_SIZE, 128);

	return 0;
}

Thanks to everyone who responded!
