Re: [Gcl-devel] (random tester) Error in FUNCALL [or a callee]: Caught fatal error [memory may be damaged]

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!

1) Made a minor modification to this recent fix, in which
   gcl_gmp_alloc is made non-static and used instead of malloc for
   permanent bignum storage.  Shouldn't affect anything, but you might
   want to double check.

2) Am assuming no news is good news :-).

3) Noticed that the latest test suite doesn't complete.  Is this a
   test suite or a gcl problem?

Take care,
