Updated first post with latest release. The only major change is this release will let you know if there was an issue getting work from the server and will stop hashing stale blocks.
I really appreciate those updates! I got the new source and built, now I get:
./rpcminer -url=http://mining.bitcoin.cz:8332/ -user=hidden.1 -pass=hidden
Client will start 2 miner threads
Work will be refreshed every 4000 ms
Could not retrieve work from RPC server.
CURL return value = 22
I'll start trying to figure out what's up with CURL...
