Possible attack against a connected-mode pool: when you find a pool-grade hash, send it immediately to gain credit, but when you find a block-grade hash, hold it until the pool hashrate dips.

This introduces some risk that someone outside the pool will find a block in the meantime, so you can't hold too long, but the optimal wait time is almost certainly greater than zero.
