How is this:

unsigned int stripLowZeroLimbs(mpf_ptr f)
{
     unsigned 	sizeNew, sizeOld;
     sizeNew = sizeOld = f->_mp_size;
     mp_ptr	limbs			= f->_mp_d;
     mp_ptr	limb			= 0;

     if (sizeNew == 0)
         return 0;

     while (*(limb = limbs++) == 0)
         sizeNew--;

     if (sizeNew == sizeOld)
         return 0;

     mpf_set_prec(f, sizeNew * sizeof(mp_ptr) * 8);

     return sizeOld - f->_mp_size;
}
