Subject: [PATCH] bigint.c: handle in-place operation in mpz_mod_2exp()
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

when mpz_mod_2exp() is called with z == x (in-place operation), the
function was calling mpz_clear(ctx, z) which freed x's memory, then
attempting to access x->p[i] - reading freed memory. this caused
Barrett reduction to produce incorrect results in modular
exponentiation.

the fix checks if z == x and handles in-place modification by
adjusting the size and masking directly, without clearing. this is
similar to the memory leak fix for pool→heap transitions.
