When a prefix is pushed to the depth 64, the entry list includes only
the values different than ZERO. This is required, since each block
represents a 2^192 values.

The bug was in the proof membership code, that failed to handle the case
of a key that was not in the list, because the depth is 64 and the value
was not set.
