Of course I also checked the client with all blocks containing private keys the pool has found so far - it reliably finds all of them.

Can you explain this further please? How do you know which blocks contains keys the pool has found?

What I meant was, that additionally to the usual ./LBC -x I also searched manually in spaces where the known private keys of the puzzle transaction are (all compressed) and also the two addresses we found with funds on them (which are uncompressed).

The new CPU/GPU hybrid found all of them, so I assume it is a working drop in replacement.
Testing the LBC is crucial, because when you have rare events like we have, you cannot afford to have a generator that overlooks something.
If your computer works for a month without a find, you have to be pretty sure it is because there really was nothing and not that because of some bug your client "oversaw" something. So that's basically what my test (and the statement) was about.
