Comment:
The problem is not so much the computation of Pi itself, but that we limit
the maximum amount of precision on can ask for when using MPFR. It seems
the limit is good for 32 bits, but for 64 bits MPFR is also basically
limited by memory only.
The solution to this ticket might be to import MPFR_PREC_MAX from mpfr.h
or wherever it is defined and then the problem will magically go away.
Cheers,
Michael
