I'm also made a fix for this yesterday -
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1479918484-31952-1-git-send-email-aryabinin@virtuozzo.com
The only small difference is that in my the limb space is not
allocated when it's not needed, i.e. when res->nlimbs == 0.

>                 res->nlimbs = (msize == 1 && mod->d[0] == 1) ? 0 : 1;
>                 res->sign = 0;
