Your change still makes use of the multiprecision arithmetic package 
included in GMP for counting out the array elements to be filled.

My reasoning for forgoing that was that this is frontend business, and 
hence doesn't have to use any other "counting mechanism" than the host's 
one to get this correct.

Am I missing something ?

Thanks in advance,
