Cool, thanks for the explanation.

So...it sounds as though the problem is problematic API. So the *real* fix is to refactor the underlying MPFR "output string" func to call a 'format to string' helper function, which you can then use for your stringification.

I appreciate that might not be easy/desirable/practical (mimicing the func in perl is probably easier), but hey.

    At which point syphilis is thankful that it's impossible to panic oneself to death ....

    (Anyway, you're wrong ... the *real* fix is to delegate responsibility :-)))))))
