This makes things significantly clearer to me :-) This is exactly the
reason why I was reluctant to release beta, as I felt pending ranges &
simultaneous bootstrap are too unreliable. I created #575 and
submitted a patch (sleep for RING_DELAY between gossip & bootstrap).
With this included, I think most of the things I had doubts about in
bootstrap will be gone.
