Commit ad53696f3fc40b9d69748ad8fa1ed9032388841d

Con Kolivas 2011-07-22T12:17:44

The longpoll blanking of the current_block data may not be happening before the work is converted and appears to be a detected block change. Blank the current block before submitting the work and stop passing the longpoll bool around.
