os851 xo1 - with #1610 fix applied, XO-1 takes excessively long to join existing mesh network

[mikus]

BACKGROUND: Had exisitng mesh connection (using channel 1) between several XO-1s (none with #1610 fix). Brought up another XO-1 (os850, with #1610 fix). That XO automatically put parentheses around (i.e., auto-connected) the ad-hoc icon for channel 1 in its Neighborhood. I did not want that, so I clicked on 'Disconnect' in that icon's palette. I then clicked on the "Mesh" icon for channel 1 in that XO's Neighborhood. Except for that "Mesh" icon pulsing, nothing further happened. My patience ran out, so I changed the gconf /desktop/sugar/network/adhoc value to 'false' - that made the ad-hoc icons disappear from that system's Neighborhood, but its "Mesh" icon for channel 1 kept on pulsing -- without connecting.

PROBLEM: I rebooted the os851 (with #1610 fix) XO-1 (which now had the gconf adhoc value set false), and clicked on the "Mesh" icon for channel 1 in that system's Neighborhood. Although that icon kept on pulsing, despite me waiting for many many minutes that system did not connect to the existing mesh network. Took system dump.

os851 XO1 - system dump - never connected to mesh

I'm not sure what is going on. Some hours later (having flashed a newer OFW on that XO-1) I rebooted that os851 (with #1610 fix) XO-1 system (still having the /desktop/sugar/network/adhoc value set false); I happened to click in Neighborhood on the channel 1 icon, and went away. When I came back later, that system HAD joined the existing (channel 1) mesh network. Took system dump.

os851 XO1 - system dump - another time, did eventually connect to mesh

very old, not reproducable
