Thanks, this is a known issue with the libgmp.dll built with strawberry 
perl.  (It was built with SSE2 instructions that aren't supported by 
several classes of x86 processor, including my AMD Athlon XP.)  I bugged 
Alias about this a couple of times and even built and sent him a known 
good library to replace it with, but the issue is still present in 
strawberry perl.

Merging #62202 into #50212.
