Here's the latest -
What I think happened was that a user tried HOdling before his chain was up to date. This transaction had a maturation block that was already in the past and when miners tried to process that transaction, it caused them to crash rather than just add the transaction with 0 interest.
I've included an emergency fix in the master branch that should fix this issue, although it's a little bit difficult to fully test. I recommend immediately updating while we look at issuing a point release.
Thanks to everyone for reporting the problem and especially Optiminer for the specific bug report and fix.
think that was me then with my weird negative hodl...oopsy
Well thanks for that! Better to get this exposed and resolved earlier rather than later.
