Everyone, or at least everyone with more than one dbserver.  This has been 
reported and is ticket #2926.  If you build from source, you can fix it by 
applying the following one-line change to src/ubik/beacon.c, in 
ubeacon_Interact() around line 370:


<        oldestYesVote = 0x7fffffff; /* time quorum expires */
>        oldestYesVote = 0x7fffffff; /* time quorum expires */


I would not be surprised to see a release with this fix before the weekend 
is out.
