Thanks Chris.
Yep, looks like an honest-ish user managed to accidentally get one tx into
one chain and another into the other.
I think I'd cautiously say that if OKPay gets their cash back, or freezes
his balance nobody is out BTC for last night, (instead just time and
effort).

Just a quick and dirty check if something bad actually happened. 430
