Comment (by Sebastian):

 Replying to [comment:2 nickm]:
 > I think that the consensus each dirauth generates should be the one it
 stores locally?  If not, you could write it to a file at the end of
 networkstatus_compute_consensus().  Make sure to use a different file for
 each flavor.

 It doesn't get stored if it isn't valid because it has just one signature,
 for example I think. I'll check that, thanks for the suggestion.

 > Also, is there anything suggestive in the logs?

 No, that's why I opened the ticket to look more at this.


 > Also, if somebody *didn't* add longclaw and remove turtles, then the
 expected behavior would be that not everybody reaches the same consensus.
 Have we ruled that out?

 Yes, most of the time it works, the issues are spurious.
