The previous code is correct, but hard to verify: The libmpdec documentation

rightfully states that an mpd_t with a coefficient flagged as MPD_CONST_DATA
must not be in the position of the result operand. In this particular case
several assumptions guarantee that a resize will never occur in all possible
code paths, which was the reason for using MPD_CONST_DATA and saving an
instruction by omitting the initialization of tmp.alloc.

For readability, tmp is now flagged as MPD_STATIC_DATA and tmp.alloc
is initialized.
