How do you arrange to free a GMP integer when it is no longer

madness. The memory allocation tricks we play with GMP are all to

Not really. You can't let GMP realloc() a memory block that was
allocated using one method, with a

- Rename all the symbols in our GMP to be unique. (sounds hard)
Nah, easy.
First get a list of symbols: nm libgmp.a | grep gmp
[Supply a few flags to nm to get a better list.]
Then turn it into a list of #defines:
#define gmp_blah ghc_gmp_blah
...
#include your list of #defines into

GHC's use of GMP does cause problems if you want to use GMP for your own

What about linking Haskell programs with C libraries that use GMP
internally?
FWIW, I couldn't reproduce this problem on my system (i.e. str_test
always printed 1). GHC 6.2.1, libgmp 4.1.3, debian unstable

Which is fine, until a GC occurs and the
