With the bignum code, is it true that the only problem will be if a gc
starts in another thread at the critical moment?

If currently the gmp code just uses malloc I guess it won't run a gc
from within the mpz functions as such.  That wasn't the case in the
old code though, if I read scm_i_mkbig rightly.
