Latest DiabloMiner sends X-Mining-Extensions header as "longpoll rollntime switchto". This is not recognized by eligius and rollntime is disabled for this miner.
Last I checked, DiabloMiner had bugs in its rollntime implementation, and Diablo-D3 stubbornly denied they existed (thus refusing to fix them), so I blacklisted it from using it. Specifically, with rollntime enabled, DiabloMiner is somehow confusing its work and when it expires, and sending shares against work older than 2 minutes, even after it has received new work. If Diablo-D3 has fixed this, and someone is willing to do some real-time testing to confirm it (on IRC), I'd be glad to remove it from the blacklist...

That bug never existed and I repeatedly confirmed that the bug is in your pool.
The only thing you confirmed was that your logs were reporting things sanely. The actual on-the-wire packets confirmed you were sending me dead shares.

If this is your stance, I might have to end up adding code to detect eligius and force reenable it.
If Eligius doesn't tell you it's allowed, it isn't: forcefully rolled shares will be rejected outright.

You depend on UA snooping. Just sayin.

And no, the only thing you confirmed is that miners still have a very low rate of stale shares. Are you going to start blacklisting other miners because they produce stale shares too?
