Because of a race condition with delivering disconnect messages, which do not contain either an epoch or birth number, a node can be connected to the overlay via random walk to the same node in quick succession (with an interleaved leave operation) and a late arrival of a disconnect message can permanently disconnect the node leaving the overlay disconnected.
