Comment (by zimmerma):

 I tried configuring GMP-ECM with {{{-enable-assert}}}, nothing wrong
 happens.
 I have no further idea to investigate. Any suggestion out there?

 Of course a possible workaround would be to configure with {{{--disable-
 asm-redc}}} on
 powerpc64, but it would be nice to find the reason of this problem. Is
 there any other
 powerpc on which we could test?

 What is strange is that the bug occurs **inside** libecm.a when called
 from within Sage,
 and does not occur when called from the binary GMP-ECM (with the same
 libecm.a). Maybe a memory corruption related to the ecm_params structure
 which is not really defined in libecm.pyx? Is it possible to link libecm
 dynamically to Sage?
