Yup. Build 500 had a combinatorial explosion of announcements (within
the node). Build 501 largely fixed this. Build 502 fixed another nasty.
Build 503 will be out later today, and will fix the remaining behaviour.
This is that every 15 minutes it polls, sees that it hasn't processed
any external requests yet (assuming your node is fucked), and starts
another 2 announcements... the delays in the retries of the
announcements are powers of 2 times a half-hour, so although they will
time out eventually, you will end up with many announcements (not as
many as with 500 though :)). This will only happen to you if your node
is fucked anyway due to bad seedrefs or an incorrectly set IP; please
upgrade to 502 (or wait for 503, but your 500 node isn't going to work
very well in the meantime). This was my bug, sorry, it happens.
