FW: Is GMP safe for using on multi core processors with openmp or pthreads?

  You are right that you can trigger the problem with a simple openmp

  library that has a strong dependency on malloc should have a caution
  in the documentation for the developer using OpenMP and multiple
  threads?

Perhaps, and the text in my last letter was largely quoted from the GMP
manual: http://gmplib.org/manual/Reentrancy.html

I don't think we can do much more than that.  Do you disagree?
