If you reencrypt your wallet I _believe_ should consume the keypool and give you a new one. It does on initial encrypt and I've tested this case.

the default keypool is 100 keys.

if you call getnewaddress 100 times it will remove all existing keys from keypool (and auto replace them with newer ones).

from commandline:
bitcoind getnewaddress

from debug window:
getnewaddress

Suppose I had a weak passphrase and then changed it to a strong one.  I worry that the keypool during the weak period needs to be replaced.

Am I obliged to create a whole new wallet or is there a trick to consume the keypool?
