Description:
------------
void *
__gmp_default_reallocate (void *oldptr, size_t old_size, size_t new_size)
{
  void *ret;

#ifdef DEBUG
  size_t req_size = new_size;

  if (old_size != 0)
    {
      mp_ptr p = oldptr;
      if (p[-1] != (0xdeadbeef << 31) + 0xdeafdeed)
	{
	  fprintf (stderr, "gmp: (realloc) data clobbered before allocation block\n");
	  abort ();
	}
      if (old_size % BYTES_PER_MP_LIMB == 0)
	if (p[old_size / BYTES_PER_MP_LIMB] != ~((0xdeadbeef << 31) + 0xdeafdeed))
	  {
	    fprintf (stderr, "gmp: (realloc) data clobbered after allocation block\n");
	    abort ();
	  }
      oldptr = p - 1;
    }

  new_size += 2 * BYTES_PER_MP_LIMB;
#endif

  ret = realloc (oldptr, new_size);
  if (ret == 0)
    {
#if defined _MSC_VER && defined _WIN64
        fprintf (stderr, "GNU MP: Cannot reallocate memory (old_size=%llu new_size=%llu)\n", old_size, new_size);
#else
        fprintf (stderr, "GNU MP: Cannot reallocate memory (old_size=%lu new_size=%lu)\n", old_size, new_size);
#endif
      abort ();
    }


This abort inside __gmp_default_reallocate is reached with the attached test scripts. Maybe a check can be implemented inside php-gmp extension to prevent it. Tested on 64 bits Windows.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

$v1=-4500000000;
echo gmp_random($v1); 
 
<?php
$v1=PHP_INT_MAX;
gmp_random_bits($v1); 

Expected result:
----------------
No crash

Actual result:
--------------
php.exe crashes

Due to compatibility issues with other libraries that link against libgmp, we can no longer replace the GMP default allocator with our own infallible allocator. As such, OOM aborts in GMP will not be fixed.
