Hi,
I've been using share/contrib/gf.mac (Galois Fields package) for some
work and came across a problem trying to represent GF(2). I tried
gf_set(2,1,[x]);
but this seems to lead to non-termination. I am wondering if perhaps I
am providing the parameters incorrectly or misunderstanding something?
I have filled a bug for this at
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=104933&aid=1913047&group_id=4933
as I imagine it should not lead to non-termination in either case, but
am wondering in the mean time if anyone knows anything about the issue
and if I am doing something silly?
