It worked! The funny thing is that I didn't even have to exec podcupdate to see the utxoamount again.
Some samples

Great! Yes looking at getrawtransaction 632d8, it looks correct now. Awesome.
Yes, doing the exec search utxoweight 9689, I can see your weight now.
Thats good we have this flowing out earlier in the cycle before we have a lot of researchers, as that malformed sig could be a crash risk, although I see the code handled the malformed sigs OK but would rather not see it iterating over hundreds of malformed sigs obviously.
