mpz_get_str, in toString0, will definitely malloc() something, so we'd
better (free)() it (note parens to avoid macro expansion). I think
init0 and finalize0 could make use of garbage-collectable memory,
though (i.e., we could get rid of the other call to `free').

I don't have the faintest idea :-)
