How did you create this seed?

Generate 64-hexadecimal seed 1065d19680de20cd7f55a1650d13a8f50728a1460d925e6889ed52055ee9c14a and past to addresstests on https://github.com/luigi1111/xmr.llcoins.net/tree/master/site

Monero private keys do not use the full 256 bits. They don't go up to 2^256-1, but if I understand that correctly only up to 2^252 + 27742317777372353535851937790883648493. Keys larger than this "magic" number get "reduced" with a modulo op to fit into the range. If somebody use a process that comes up with fully random 256 bits, they can hit such key over the limit.

So, nothing is really wrong I would say, you can use a wallet with such a "seed discrepancy". Or, if you find this all a bit strange and worrying, you can continue to generate random hex numbers with 64 digits until you hit one that is small enough and will not produce such an anomaly.

When I try to set first 2 hex-digits to 0, it not works, but when I try to set last 2 digits to 0, all is OK.
