That is strange. What does the TxIn look like? 92233720368.54277039 BTC? Is that UINT64_MAX, I wonder?
It's 2^63/10^8, so it looks like it's INT64_MAX, not UINT64_MAX

This could be a serious problem. Bitcoin's printblock also shows it: CBlock(hash=0000000000790ab3, ver=1, hashPrevBlock=0000000000606865, hashMerkleR oot=618eba, nTime=1281891957, nBits=1c00800e, nNonce=28192719, vtx=2) CTransaction(hash=012cd8, ver=1, vin.size=1, vout.size=1, nLockTime=0) CTxIn(COutPoint(000000, -1), coinbase 040e80001c028f00) CTxOut(nValue=50.51000000, scriptPubKey=0x4F4BA55D1580F8C3A8A2C7) CTransaction(hash=1d5e51, ver=1, vin.size=1, vout.size=2, nLockTime=0) CTxIn(COutPoint(237fe8, 0), scriptSig=0xA87C02384E1F184B79C6AC) CTxOut(nValue=92233720368.54275808, scriptPubKey=OP_DUP OP_HASH160 0xB7A7) CTxOut(nValue=92233720368.54275808, scriptPubKey=OP_DUP OP_HASH160 0x1512) vMerkleTree: 012cd8 1d5e51 618eba

Its a bug in the transaction checks which did not reject it, then someone noticed and exploited it. Presumably a new version will be able to reject it and start a new valid fork. meanwhile should probablt shut down whatever you can and by no means make nor accept any transactions.

Im speculating here somewhat but from what I can see someone has generated a transaction, probably using a custom modification of the software to generate a transaction which exploits a weakness in the code. The code check each transaction output for negative numbers individually (up to ver 0.3.8 at least) but forgot to check that the sum of two outputs (where you have the normal output of a transaction and the "change" leftover amount returned to the sender) is negative. So if you put two large but positive values in the transaction the overflow is then only checked that it is less than or equal to the inputs.
Normally the inputs are equal to the outputs of a transaction. The exception is when there is a "fee" charged for the transaction. The net allows anyone to voluntarily pay any amout for a fee. SO when the sum was negative the difference from the input looked like a fee. It slipped thru all the checks. Her is some of the details: out Value 1:92233720368.54(7ffffffffff85ee0) out Value 2:92233720368.54(7ffffffffff85ee0)
the sum would make -0.01 BTC
generated transaction "reward" including 51 bitcent "fee" out Value:50.51(000000012d1024c0)
that implies the input value was 0.50 BTC

This thread currently has more useful information in it. Both threads have a link to the other, so usefulness of information doesn't matter. I think the other thread is more appropriate which is why I suggested this one be locked. If a moderator thinks this one is more appropriate, then they should lock the other. Of course if the moderators want both threads going at the same time, that's their prerogative. It's just a suggestion and not really a big deal either way.

Nice. I shouldn't even have assumed he did it. I know there are lots of people here with skills.

Wow, do they link the thread? I almost got a heart attack while reading that 'a fork will probably fix it' But the block number is quite low, so I maybe should have noticed my mistake earlier. Good thing most of those quirks are now fixed!
