[Disclaimer: this is the first time I've investigated into the depths of a blockchain, so if I should have understood this completely wrong please correct me! If you need more data from my log, request it, I'm happy to help]3 days ago I started my Dogecoin wallet (the latest 1.6.something version, downloaded from the official Dogecoin link) after being offline for 2 days and it stopped syncing at block 186741.
What I tried so far:
- Re-installed the wallet, and using only the nodes listed on the official Dogecoin announcement page here in this forum
- Restored blockchain from a 6 week old local backup
- Completely synced blockchain from scratch into the empty Dogecoin folder
But, no matter what, sync stopped at block 186741.
Fortunately I have a debug.log for this time, this is what it says:

2014-04-20 18:45:56 disconnecting node 69.245.81.106:22556
Does this "misbehaving" node 69.245.81.106 try to manipulate things or is it normal that clients are misbehaving due lack of programming skills?
After this, I got a couple of hundreds "received block ...", "Process block: ORPHAN BLOCK, ...." message pairs.
After that, for each(!) incoming new block I get:

The "

I've never seen this this with any coin before. Is this normal, should I be worried and most important, how can I stop/work around this to sync my wallet again?
Any help highly appreciated!
