Also, could you look, at this message, not sure if you've seen it:

I don't understand this code so I cannot change it. It is up to CfB and BCNext to decide if and when this should be fixed.

Only crypto audit will tell if it's a bug or not. Right now there is another way to fix unverifable signatures in Crypto.sign(). We can't use BloodyRookie's fix without a formal proof that this won't break Curve25519 security. Actually, if the fix gets rid of unverifable signatures completely then we shouldn't use it. It's a normal situation that sometimes we have to recompute signatures generated with EC-KCDSA.
