From the client's perspective, there isn't any way to tell except with the block timestamps which I doubt it will trust.

In the freebsd port tree (/usr/ports/net-p2p/bitcoin) there is still the v0.4.0 version.
Does any of you guys have the skills or know who we can ask to bring this port up to 0.6.2?

I thought I read the other day that the blocks are timestamped with the current epoch time according to whoever solved it, using unsigned integer?

Ran into another bug:

I sent some coins (using coincontrol) from one of my addresses (A) to another person (B) and decided to send the leftover amount (essentially the change) to one of my addresses (C).
The transaction to the other user just shows up fine in the transactions tab, however the one to myself is missing in the list.
Since the involved balances are all correct (A to B is ok, change went to C, A is empty), I assume it's just not displayed in the transaction list.

Then it's a bug that all others transactions to myself show up? I've been using coincontrol to move around a few of my coins from one address to another (yeah, I shouldn't care about that, but sometimes I'm just like that) and each of those gets listed. Without the sending/receiving address and the amount though, see my bug report a few posts earlier here (well, the amount shows up, but only if you double click a transaction). I understand that automatic coin-change transactions don't need to be displayed, but when I manually create the transaction, I expect it to be listed.

As for coin-change in general: it would be nice if the change would go to the address from which coins are send. Or if there was an option to display all transactions, even automatic change transfers.

Had the power go out this afternoon, been running the client for the last week 24/7, no problems there.   Now I was lucky today, because had just shut the client down a few hours before the power flicked out, so not asking because of an emergency, just want to be prepared...

What should one do if the client is running (WinXP) when the power fails? 

Not asking about basic computer problems/solutions here, such as lost/bad clusters that might result, strictly asking about recommendations pertaining to the client software and the integrity of it's file system.  Assume no transaction was in progress when the power failed, it was simply open and active at the time. 

1) Should some files in the app data folder be deleted before restarting?

2) Lets say upon restart, the balance remains correct and no errors show up while re-sync, are we good to go?  Should some form of validation be preformed?

3) Are there various errors that might appear, and/or recommendations on how they should be repaired, if encountered?

Thanks much, 6.2 has been working great for me...
