Here is how to lose control of a name, and possibly corrupt wallet.dat:
- tested with: version 0.3.24.63 on testnet
- do a name_new
- do a name_firstupdate
- do a name_update with a 1023 character value string
- attempt to do another name_update, resulting in error:
{"code":-1,"message":"could not sign name coin output"}
Example: test20/a
http://testnet.explorer.dot-bit.org/n/1806
The killer command was:
namecoind name_update test20/a '1023 chars. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

This transaction was created without errors, and accepted into the blockchain. But perhaps it is not being entered into wallet.dat cleanly, thus causing the resulting errors?
