Just FYI: as part of the protocol, no one can send a "yes" vote for BIG
seconds after startup (I think "BIG" is something like 90, but I don't
remember).  If you're restarting it before that timer elapses, then
that might be part of the problem.

I have a document which describes the basic Ubik protocol which IMHO
is essential for debugging these sorts of things; Derrick, maybe it should
be added to the base distribution?  (If it isn't already).
