  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.
