I have to admit, I don't see any bad tuning values there. They all
look ok to me. The dc division code doesn't get unhappy until the
number of limbs gets to about 6 and the cutoff there is 21.

It looks like the failure must be triggered by either line 134 or 136
of dc_divappr_q.c

So you have qn = nn - dn (line 48), thus qn >= 3 (line 45). But dn >=
6 (line 44) and qn >= dn (line 53) . But line 59, qn is reduced to be
<= dn, but not 0, (or 1 see line 67). But then qn < dn (line 131).
Then bn is either dn - qn or qn, depending on which is smaller.

Hmm. Don't see how there can be an issue. :-(

Bill.
