...and it turns out it was just a stale build artifact -- 
regress/unittests/kex/test_kex.o didn't get recompiled after an update 
to kex.h that changed the layout of struct kex.  (Since from a cursory 
glance it doesn't appear that there's currently any effort being made to 
track header dependencies for things in the regress/ directory, I'm 
assuming this wouldn't be considered a bug worth fixing.)

After a make clean all tests pass -- apologies for the noise.
