Well, good catch ;) I agree with David that this very likely was not the issue. We all are on LE systems (unless you have an old powerbook or a sparc?). Which means that the only reason why that assert may fail is if the caller forgot to convert the size field to BE.
My money is on this: Your change to the gnunet_crypto_lib.h header triggered a recompile of most of the gnunet code. This fixed some binary-level inconsistencies which caused the tests to fail.
