Your zfcn() function is taking a call-by-value parameter, so changing
that can't be expected to alter the caller's "a".  You can add a
couple of printf("%p\n"...)s to see ww8.s is not a.s.

In fact "a.s" does get altered a bit as you've observed, I think
because the default constructor "realmp::realmp(const realmp &)" (or
whatever the syntax is) will be a bytewise copy.  The result of
altering such a copy of an mpf_t will be unpredictable.  (Moving is
fine, but copying and expecting to use both copies isn't.)
