mpz_out_str and mpz_get_str broken?

[Kettler, Neal]

I downloaded gmp-3.1.1.tar.gz today.  I'm writing a little test program using RSA encryption.  I was using mpz_out_str() to print my public keyset.  I couldn't figure out why, but all the digits after the first 10 or so were wrong.  There were however the correct number of digits.  I was definately using base 10 to output the numbers so that shouldn't be the problem.

 

I thought it must be my bug so I wrote my own little conversion routine that repeatedly divided my number by ten and printed the remainders in reverse order.  This correctly displayed the number.

 

Small values always display correctly and the first 10 or so digits are also always correct.  This also affects mpz_get_str().

 

I'm using Solaris 2.7 on x86 hardware.  I used gcc 2.95.2 to build the library.
