Nice... OK, set \g2, run the broken binary, and diff the log with the correct
one (other 64bit). Where do they diverge ? (if possible try \g3, etc. but you
will get an enormous amount of useless information from LLL, try to pinpoint
the precise point where it breaks down).

Also bnfinit(x^2+1) would not be broken, by any chance ? (much easier to
debug, no units).
