There have been a number of incidents of transactions with weird very high fees (e.g. 170 btc) in the last few months. Some people had assumed that these were just miners fooling around with their own money (perhaps a retarded kind of money laundering), but I saw one today that was that I know broadcast long before it was mined (because I, and the other p2pool miners were greedily looking at it in out memory pools):

I'm concerned that there might be a client out there with broken coin selection code. Thoughts?
