The worker names I added to /worker somehow get converted to lowercase. This is a HUGE PROBLEM when it comes to pools like eligius, that take your work, but don't pay you if you use a bad address as a username. I lost quite a bit of work in exactly this manner, just recently.

I'm guessing it's to do with the way the ConfigParser module reads and stores field names in a case-insensitive manner. I'm currently investigating for a way to fix this.
