long-standing bugs (see trac ticket list below). They're currently
somewhat obscure bugs, but are becoming much more relevant in a world
where OpenFabrics devices fail and you replace them with a newer model
(i.e., the cluster is homogeneous... ''except'' for where you had to
replace one or two OpenFabrics devices, and the same model is no
longer available).
This commit includes a '''lengthy''' comment (that we spent a lot of
time writing!) about what exactly it does and does not do. The
previous code was rather short and '''incredibly''' subtle. The new
code is slightly longer, but is both much more explicit and much more
painstakingly documented.
This commit fixes multiple trac tickets. The real one that we fix is
#1707; the others are fixed as a side-effect. In short: fixing #1707
prevents Bad Things from happening later in the startup sequence.
Fixes trac:1707, #2164, #1574.
