Post by: SleepMachine on June 11, 2011, 04:25:35 PM
First time i've ever had a problem with the official bitcoin client. I'm using version 0.3.21
I just got this exception.

Just posting this to help the developers locate bugs etc.

What were you doing when it happened ?
Can you reproduce it at will, and what is the reproduction scenario ?
Windows XP ?

Someone had the same error here (http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=6017.msg101808#msg101808), not sure if he fixed it.

1st guess: compromised system integrity?[malware and etc]

@Bailey
You can never rule malware out completely.

@Joan
The error message from that other guy said "address already in use" though.
I can't reproduce the error. The error was simply there when i sat down at the computer.
The OS is Windows XP.
However, i can think of 2 things that are a little out of the ordinary.
#1 - Explorer.exe has crashed once since the last reboot. That might have caused something.
#2 - I have changed the locale/region in the windows control panel to Japanese. (as you can see from the yen symbols in the screenshot)

Other than that, nothing comes to mind.
