Comment (by johnmaddock):

 >Suggestions on how to install 1.54 beta into my (simple) Mingw
 environment?

 Just unpack the zip and place it in your path - multiprecision is header
 only.  If you need other Boost libs, the easiest way would be to
 temporarily rename boost/multiprecision in the 1.53 tree and then copy the
 version from 1.54 over to test.

 BTW bit usage shouldn't effect stack usage in cpp_int.  Have you run under
 gdb and/or looked up the error code to see if it's a stack overflow?
