Description qube99 2004-02-22 23:11:26 UTC

Very clearly on GNU MP's website, http://swox.com/gmp/, there is a mention of a critical flaw in the fft multiple routine that can cause miscomputation.  Because no fix currently exists, gmp should be configured with --disable-fft to resolve the problem for now.
