Justin (et. al),

Thanks for the response.

My info is

Hardware: Apple iBook G3 900 MHz
OS and Version: Mac OS X 10.4.11
GAP: 4.4.9
NQ Version: 2.2

GMP Version (Long Edition): OK, here's where it gets embarassing. I 
*had* tried to compile GMP myself a while ago, but it failed some 
checks, so I never install it (I forgot this until your post :( ). I 
just redownloaded it and compiled it, and I installed it before I did a 
"make check" :( - but when I did eventually do a "make check", it passed 
all tests this time :) So, to make a long story short, I am using 
version 4.2.2.

GMP Version (Short Edition): 4.2.2

I have not tried recomiling NQ since installing GMP.

Please let me know if there is any additional information you require. 
Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Sincerely,
