Your code is too long and complex to ask of list members to figure  
out what it does, particularly with comments in a foreign language.  
But it seems you're just sending an mpz_t struct over the network. An  
mpz_t struct is just a handle; what you're doing is equivalent to  
sending a pointer to a string instead of the string itself and expect  
the other side to be able to read it. So due to this alone your code  
won't work.

That's assuming your network code is correct, which I believe, from  
your description of the problem, that it isn't. Obviously, if that's  
the case, then this isn't the list to ask for help. You could begin  
by validating your client on simple ASCII inputs and then proceeding  
to send mpz_t values.
