In this rare event Baron needs to know to stop asking for payments until things return to normal. Baron should refuse to show new payment addresses and instead print an error something like, "Temporary Downtime. Bitcoin is currently in safe mode. Please contact the system administrator."

Along the same lines as this, Baron should also use alertnotify. Upon receiving any alert, it should stop asking for any payments until the alert is gone from getinfo.

bitcoind has the -testsafemode option. Please use that once so you obtain the safe mode error message.
