What happens if: @p{par}

@p{--} you dump a private key from bitcoin client 'A' @p{brk}
@p{--} shutdown A @p{brk}
@p{--} import it into bitcoin client 'B' @p{brk}
@p{--} spend it from B @p{brk}
 ... wait for a confirmation or three... @p{brk}
@p{--} restart A @p{par}

Does A notice that the coin's been spent?  I think there's a bug that it does not, and I think that bug needs to be fixed before we make it easy to export/import private keys.  So, please bang on sipa's patch and see if anything else breaks! @p{brk}
