Thanks for the bug report.

Sebastian Ramacher fixed this bug in the following pull request:

  https://github.com/sebastinas/pycrypto/commit/d31f7df39a6d3db73a16909de4669d337b69c40c

It's now been merged into the pycrypto master branch.

With help from the mpir dev list, I built mpir.lib Do you know where I should put it in pycrypto-2.6 ?
I ask because they are all python files so it is not clear where I should drop in a lib file.
building mpir:
For those wanting to build a newer version of mpir, just go to mpir-2.5.1\win and run the two batch files in a command window. You will need to download yasm, rename and copy over yasm.exe to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin.

At redhat I had to install
yum install gmp-devel
after
./configure
python setup.py build
...
building 'Crypto.PublicKey._fastmath' extension
....
python setup.py install
python setup.py test
...
running test
