yay!  Thanks!

Maybe you could post the hack you used, in the Open Source spirit, you know , so it can help other users who face the same problem now or in the future. That would be really great.

ok, pywallet works well to get the privkeys from wallet a, but unfortunately it is not designed to work with wallets with versions later than 32500, so when I try to import into a new wallet, the wallet gets corrupted.

So, I am very close, and I like this bulk import/export method because I can prune this giant wallet I have, but I am at a loss how to import the addresses.  The new client has the importprivkey function, but it takes 1-2 minutes per address to import.

Does anyone know a way to import privkeys into a wallet quickly?

What did you mean by versions later than 32500?

He meant 0.3.25
BTW pywallet now works with last wallet versions
