bug: assertion failure in tests

[David Fang]

GMP-maintainers,

        I may have found a bug in gmp.  I enabled assertions in my
configuration and it died on a scanf test.  Here are the details:

VERSION: GMP version 4.1.2

PLATFORM: Mac OS X 10.3.3, Power Mac dual 533 MHz G4, 256 MB RAM
        configi[fsf].guess: powerpc7400-apple-darwin7.3.0
        uname -a: Darwin Fangs-Mac.local 7.3.0 Darwin Kernel Version
        7.3.0: Fri Mar  5 14:22:55 PST 2004;
        root:xnu/xnu-517.3.15.obj~4/RELEASE_PPC  Power Macintosh powerpc

COMPILER: gcc version 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1495)

TEST_PROGRAM: (from the tests included with distribution)
        in tests/misc/t-scanf.c: line 1421, assertion failed
1420:   ret = gmp_sscanf ("123", "%*d%d", &x);
1421:   ASSERT_ALWAYS (ret == -1);

CONFIGURATION:
configure --enable-cxx --disable-shared --enable-assert CXX=g++
        CFLAGS="-fast -mcpu=7450 -pipe"

STACKDUMP: (not any more helpful than the above description)
        (gdb) where
        #0  0x90042aac in kill ()
        #1  0x9009ec5c in abort ()
        #2  0x00088fbc in __gmp_assert_fail ()
        #3  0x00005c84 in check_misc ()
        #4  0x00006a5c in main ()
        #5  0x000025dc in _start (argc=1, argv=0xbffffa84, envp=0xbffffa8c) at
                /SourceCache/Csu/Csu-46/crt.c:267
        #6  0x00002450 in start ()

Hope this is enough information.
