Segfault with function zeros

[simonschoelly]

Using the function zeros to allocate a vector of BigIntegers fails. This seems only to happen after a certain size, as zeros(Int24, 10) does work, but zeros(Int24, 20) does not.

Yes, I should probably have mentioned that in the README. This is a current bug with Julia, see JuliaLang/julia#29053.
