> In the patch of JIRA 127, I forgot to set the state of a peer when this peer
> is looking for a leader and it receives a message from the current leader. In
> this patch, I have fixed this problem, and also returned to what we had
> previously. With this current patch, when a peer joins and there is already a
> leader elected, the joining peer will only recognize the new leader as the
> leader once it receives a confirmation from a majority. The alternative is to
> set the leader once we receive a message from a peer claiming to be the
> leader (what we have on trunk now, although broken because we don't set the
> state of the peer), but there could be cases in which a peer believes to be
> leader, although it is not the leader any longer, and the joining peer would
> select this false leader to be its leader. Eventually, the false leader would
> timeout, and both processes would select the correct leader. This small fix
> gets rid of such problems, though.
