Comment (by arma):

 (Actually, to clarify, the bug in this ticket is that step D's "is it the
 same" check was faulty. We wanted to know if it was "the same descriptor",
 but there are actually two versions of the descriptor every time it's
 published (one for each replica), and they're "the same" for our purposes
 here but the bytes are different. So if we wanted to be thorough, we would
 do some more complicated check like "is it the same bytes except for the
 rendezvous-service-descriptor line". My patch approximates that with the
 much simpler "is it from the same second" check.)
