Talking to myself again :-) After watching activity with full debugging on, It seems that most of the QueryRestarted messages are coming from loops. On a data request with high htl, 50 -100, from me and other sources, I would see the same message hit my node four or five times. I never saw one of these be successful. My guess now is that a lot of stuff didn't make it through the last data store upgrade.
