What is happening
If you are using Bitcoin-Qt/bitcoind version 0.7.2 or earlier, you must
take action before 15 May, 2013. If you do nothing, you are likely to be
left behind and will be out of sync with the rest of the Bitcoin
network.
We recommend that you upgrade to version 0.8.1 before the 15th of May to avoid any issues. If you are a solo miner or mining pool operator, please see the the notes at the end of this page for how to upgrade safely.
If you cannot upgrade to version 0.8.1
If you cannot upgrade to the latest version, you can still avoid the
problem. Create a file called DB_CONFIG in the bitcoin data directory,
containing these two lines:
set_lg_dir database
set_lk_max_locks 120000
Attached is a patch to fix this mandatory upgrade. I'll apply for a FFE.
[Test Case]
After May 15th, affected clients won't propagate large blocks
[Regression Potential]
none that i can think of, this is just lifting an artificial constraint
BDB was putting on databases
