Cannot spend unconfirmed change

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Currently it seems that I can only perform one transaction and then have to 
wait for it to be confirmed before I can perform another transaction.

Is this limitation really necessary? 
The "bitcoinspinner" app does not seem to have this restriction.

What you are seeing is that you cannot spend change sent back to yourself until 
it is confirmed. See http://code.google.com/p/bitcoinj/issues/detail?id=40

However, you can spend "older" coins, just make sure your wallet has several 
"fractions", for example by sending coins to your wallet in multiple 
transactions.

This issue will be resolved in the next version. You will be able to spend your 
own unconfirmed change. Incoming payments will however still need at least one 
confirmation before you can spend.

If you want, you can help test this version:

(look for the 'spendpolicies' versions)
