Within the copying loop in mpi_write_sgl(), we have if (lzeros) { mpi_limb_t *limb1 = (void *)p - sizeof(alimb); mpi_limb_t *limb2 = (void *)p - sizeof(alimb) + lzeros; *limb1 = *limb2; ... } where p points past the end of alimb2 which lives on the stack and contains the current limb in BE order. The purpose of the above is to shift the non-zero bytes of alimb2 to its beginning in memory, i.e. to skip its leading zero bytes. However, limb2 points somewhere into the middle of alimb2 and thus, reading *limb2 pulls in lzero bytes from somewhere.

Fix the issue, by preparing the starting point p for the upcoming copy operation instead of shifting the source memory, i.e. alimb2.
