Comment (by zabrocki):

 I should remark that if move the `freeall(a)` and `freeall(b)` lines after
 the `println(d)` statement then I do not get the same error.

 This leads me to believe that if `c` has rational (bruch) coefficients
 that it is because when the program starts to allocate the memory for the
 bruch coefficients that certain bits are not being initialized to 0 and
 they need to be.  I don't know why this error would be triggered only when
 `b` uses up a lot of memory.  Maybe if `b` is something huge then the the
 memory collection reuses memory and if `b` is small then the allocation of
 `c` and `d` memory is 'clean' and is initialized to 0 already.

 I should also remark that the coefficients that are printed out in the
 `println(d)` are not random (as we are seeing in sage) in that if I insert
 several copies of `println(d)` in the program they always printout the
 same random numbers.
