The July 2015 chain split
Just after the BIP 66 upgrade took effect, a small miner produced an invalid block at height 363,731, and large pools that were building on new blocks without checking them first ("SPV mining") added five more blocks on top. The valid chain overtook the six invalid blocks about an hour and a half later, and lightweight wallets were advised to wait for extra confirmations.
