It's not just during that time, but from the time it receives the new keys
until it switches to the new key and permutation.  If it would listen on both
permutations, I guess it would work.

The problem is that the rekey for a node does not start until it receives
traffic with the new key.  If it's not listening at the right time (and right
channel), then it will never receive such a packet.

If we could delay the switch to the new schedule until *after*
COJP_REKEYING_GUARD_TIME has elapsed, then that might work.
Alternatively, if we could number the rekeys then a EB could signal the
switch to the new schedule some time after the keys are changed.
