That's bit terse for a changelog. I did a quick grep but wasn't able
to find the offending call-site. Where is it?

We unexported ksize() because it's a problematic interface and you
almost certainly want to use the alternatives (e.g. krealloc). I think
I need bit more convincing to apply this patch...
