:) - having a discussion about Cython, C and C++ at the same time makes 
using technical terms more than a little ambiguous.

This isn't just C++, i.e. the pari failures, the quaddouble and others 
are all pure C issues unless NTL is pulled for example in those cases.

Given that this is also a C issue I cannot see how this could cause the 
problem, but given my experience over the last year on porting Sage I 
can tell you that the impossible seems to happen weekly and I have to 
eat my hat because of that quite often :)
