Comment (by zooko):

 Thanks to Samuel Neves, we figured out that the bug is in our pycryptopp
 (and python-ed25519) glue code: [source:git/src-
 ed25519/glue/ed25519module.c?annotate=blame&rev=959851743ed0a5fb1dc77d6925031a03367c8949#L45
 ed25519module.c line 45] uses type {{{int}}} to hold the size of
 something, but the module has declared {{{PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN}}} which means
 it promises to only use {{{size_t}}}'s to hold sizes of things.
