Hi,

many thanks to Revalin and others who enabled me to get a script running to bruteforce my lost wallet-pw  Smiley Im using a Ruby script on my bitcoind.exe

Doing so for wrong passwords i usually get error code -14 ("wallet password entered was in incorrect.")

However once in a while (seen 2 times so far) i get error code -1. Its output is:
 error: {"code":-1,"message":"CKey"::SetSecret<> : secret must be 32 bytes"}

What does this mean and why is it error code -1 for certain passwords instead of error code -14 ?
