NOTE :

The deficiency of this system is due to the solutions of the homogeneous part.
The Groebner bases for the homogeneous part contains the polynomials

 { a + b, c+d , b*t - b*u - d*v + d*w, b*v - b*w + d*t - d*u,
   d*t**2  - 2*d*t*u + d*u**2  + d*v**2  - 2*d*v*w + d*w**2 }

which leads to four solution components at infinity :

 1)  a=0, b=0, c=0, d=0, with t,u,v and w arbitrary complex numbers
 2)  a= - d*i, b=d*i, c= - d, t= - i*v + i*w + u
 3)  a=d*i, b= - d*i, c= - d, t=i*v - i*w + u
 4)  a= - b, c= - d, t=u, v=w

The consecutive contributions of the constant monomials to the mixed
volume are as follows :

   i   1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8
  vi   0    0   65   65  104  104  121  121

vi = mixed volume of the system with only the first i contant terms
