[R] gmp coredump - where to report?

[William Dunlap]

  I has trying to convert some raw values into a big number with the
library gmp.
However the library makes R crash. Two questions:
1. Should I report the problem and if yes, where can I report the problem?

You can report the problem by calling bug.report(package="gmp") and filling
in the details.
