Bug? pool is empty

[phelixbtc]

namecoind walletpassphrase "fancy pass phrase" 0

namecoind getinfo
error: {"code":-1,"message":"ReserveKeyFromKeyPool() : pool is empty"}

namecoind walletpassphrase "fancy pass phrase" 9999

namecoind getinfo
{
"version" : 37400,
...
"errors" : ""
}

edit: just realized I had actually generated a 100 keys in the meantime. Is it possible the keypool does not refill with a walletpassphrase timeout of "0"?

Actually, my experience is that the keypool doesn't refill at all from "walletpassphrase" alone. When I just unlock the wallet and lock it again, it is not filled. Only when I call "getinfo" in between, the keypool is refilled. So it seems that getinfo refills it, while walletpassphrase does not.

I don't know why this is the case and whether or not there is a good reason for this kind of behaviour or it is simply a "bug". If we agree that walletpassphrase should instead refill the key pool, I can implement that.

My impression was that "getinfo" would not refill with the timeout set to "0".

[domob1812]

No, it does not - since the wallet is locked again when you run "getinfo" after a "walletpassphrase" with timeout of 0. But it would if you didn't use a timeout of 0. What exactly are you trying to do with 0 timeout anyway?

LOL. I wanted to unlock it indefinitely.
