It seems the problem is not a bug in gmp, but due to the fact that by default,
gmp allocates temporary space in the stack, whose default limit is too small
for your program.

Workarounds:
1 - increase the stack size limit (unlimit stacksize under Unix)
  I tried it and it works: I got a determinant 215497210...0000000
  after 90s on a Athlon MP2000+.
2 - [not tested] configure gmp with --disable-alloca: this forces to use 
  malloc() for temporary allocation.

Hope it helps,
