There is one issue holding up a 0.5.0/0.4.1 final release: I've seen a couple of bug reports of crashes on startup when re-encrypting previously encrypted wallets on Linux64 systems.

I've tried to reproduce on Ubuntu 10.10 server and "it worked for me" -- so I need help figuring out what is going on (is it only bitcoin-qt that is crashing? Is Ubuntu OK but other linux variations broken? etc)

Gavin,

I try to reproduce the error by doing this (Ubuntu 11.10 64bits):

rm -rf ~/bitcoin # CAUTION ./bitcoin-0.4.0-linux/bin/64/bitcoin

 * Encrypt my wallet
 * Close Bitcoin 0.4.0

Next open Bitcoin 0.5.0rc7: ./bitcoin-0.5.0rc7-linux/bin/64/bitcoin-qt

 * Automatic wallet upgrade (I guess) working... No crashs...

Best, Thiago
