I have seen this a couple of times now. I first saw it after applying changeset:0475bd8e27ae8307. I suspect changeset:0475bd8e27ae8307 causes it. :-(

Ugh, I spent a few hours just now trying to make allmydata.test.test_download.DownloadTest.test_lost_servers deterministic and was not able to do so. Now that I'm writing this, I think maybe I don't even want allmydata.test.test_download.DownloadTest.test_lost_servers to be deterministic. It is basically a "system test". Maybe it is okay to leave it with some non-determinism (which I assume comes from iterating over a dict or a set of servers) in order to show up issues like this one, as long as also write a deterministic, narrowed test for each such issue that shows up.

Okay I'll try that next...
