My pleasure. I was relieved to find that the main issue was in
the unittest itself! There's still the question of protecting
ourselves from this kind of issue, just in case, but at least
there we know what to be careful of.

I just pushed the patch to master, and will work on catching
those issues over the weekend.

gdb/ChangeLog:

        * unittests/gmp-utils-selftests.c (write_fp_test): Use mpq_set_si
        instead of mpq_set_ui to initialize our GMP rational.
