Buggy division function in glibc 2.3.5.

$ .libs/dive_ui
mpz_divexact_ui wrong
    a=15555198415671637283
    d=15555198415671637283
    q=1
  got=0
Aborted
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./libc6/lib/ ./libc6/lib/ld-linux.so.2 .libs/dive_ui && echo success
success
$

Simple test case:

int main() {

	unsigned long a= 1UL << 63;
	unsigned long b= 1UL << 63;

        exit (a/b != 1);
}

Appears to be a bug in the implementation of __divqu.  Upgrading to 2.3.5-4,
to confirm whether the bug still exists.
