Winminer 1.4.1 blocks not updateing

[Opsjenar]

New mochimo headless miner winminer 1.41 has a problem with updating blocks. Sometimes it updates a block after >45 seconds and sometimes it updates after 5+ minutes or sometimes it completely skips a block. Manual miner restart fixes probem and miner downloads correct block only for the problem to persist again...

Thanks @Opsjenar. Looks like it might be a bug with the update-monitor resetting it's firstupdate variable every second block or so once it's detected a block update.

Lines 62 to 85 in 718830d

	set_bnum(Cblocknum, ip);
	if (cmp64(Cblocknum, LastCblocknum) > 0) {
	if (firstupdate != 0) {
	memcpy(LastCblocknum, Cblocknum, 8);
	firstupdate = 0;
	continue;
	}
	printf("\nBlock update detected.");
	memcpy(LastCblocknum, Cblocknum, 8);
	if (cmp64(Cblocknum, LastCblocknum) != 0) printf("\nmemcpy failed.");
	restartlock = fopen("restart.tmp", "w+b");
	if (restartlock == NULL) {
	printf("\nCouldn't open restart lock file.");
	} else {
	fwrite(LastCblocknum, 8, 1, restartlock);
	}
	fclose(restartlock);
	system("copy restart.tmp restart.lck");
	_unlink("restart.tmp");
	// Prepare for next run.
	Sleep(100);
	firstupdate = 1;
	}

I'll fix it up and run some tests before sending out a new binary.

The v1.4.2 release e8b5e14 fixes this.
Thanks for raising the issue.
