Can anyone explain how/why TeaCoin began to reward 1000 tea/block at block 1290240?

Was this due to a bug in the code or some form of attack?

The reward should have remained at 1 tea/block.

Code:

Anyone else seeing the following warning? I've checked the system clock and synchronized with NTP.  System clock appears sane/valid.

My node is currently fully synced with the blockchain.

Just wondering,  How long have you been mining and how many blocks have you found?

I've been mining for ~3 months now, started 2/11/11, and have found 7 blocks. 

1 solo, 1 @ Slush, 4 @ Deepbit and 1 @ BTCmine (and claimed the 5BTC bonus)
