 > If I understand the underlying issue correctly, it is that on some
 systems a library used by gtk is requiring a version of libgmp more recent
 than the one we ship, but our version is used because it is in
 `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`. If we remove libgmp from the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` used by
 the firefox process, then the system version of libgmp will be used by the
 print dialog, which should solve the issue. The fteproxy process will
 still have our build of libgmp in its `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`, however as
 fteproxy is probably not linked to gtk, it should not be an issue.

 Yes, I think that's a good summary and you are right.
