[Spread-users] Answer_retrans: retrans of 1 requested while Aru is 14

[John Lane Schultz]

I can't tell you why that occurred but I can say what the error means.  The
daemon that crashed believed that all the other daemons had
acknowledged receiving up through message #14.  But then it looks like one of
the daemons requested a resend of message #1.  This shouldn't happen
because the requesting daemon had (allegedly) already acknowledged
receiving up through message #14.

This could be some kind of wrap around problem with the message
counter?  The fact that the message numbers were so small (1, 14) around the
time of this failure strikes me as suspicious ...

Cheers!
John
