Comment:

 I shouldn't be too rusty with my C, but this might take a combined effort
 at Sage Days to fully complete it. I'll take a look at the code as well.

 Here's my two guesses about the problem from the discussion:

 - It is an overflow error and the big fix will be to convert Symmetrica to
 use mpz instead of the usual machine integers.
 - Symmetrica is using its own high precision integers (perhaps with a
 fixed maximum size) and it's overflowing that block of memory.
