Besides wasting resources by allocating a too large output buffer, this mistake propagates into the calculation of x, the number of leading zeros within the most significant output limb: x = BYTES_PER_MPI_LIMB - nbytes % BYTES_PER_MPI_LIMB; What's more, the low order bytes of the output, equal in number to the extra bytes in nbytes, are left uninitialized. Fix this by adjusting nbytes for each completely zero leading scatterlist entry.
