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.)
