Oh.  I just looked through the backtrace until finding a routine
reasonably related with the regtest and checked for the last commit
changing it, then posted my question.

Then I looked through the diff of the patch and considered it
unconspicuous.  So I commenced reading through earlier commits.

I actually don't have a good idea what might be wrong here.  The code is
somewhat distasteful as it basically uses eword_t and uint64_t
interchangeably, but then this does match its current definition.
