This issue can be "worked around" by generating a new address and sending all bitcoin there.
That's not quite right-- you need to exhaust all of the keys in your 'key pool' to be safe, so you'd have to ask for 101 new keys.

Part of the fix is marking all of the keys in the keypool as used.


This fix should be back-ported to version 0.4.0
It will be, for bitcoind at least. If someone wants to step up to maintain wxBitcoin, contact me (or join #bitcoin-stable on FreeNode).
