commit 758428dd32128874cefacc92ef63c1b5bc9a656e

    Fix a remotely triggerable assertion failure (CVE-2012-2250)
    
    If we completed the handshake for the v2 link protocol but wound up
    negotiating the wong protocol version, we'd become so confused about
    what part of the handshake we were in that we'd promptly die with an
    assertion.
    
    This is a fix for CVE-2012-2250; it's a bugfix on 0.2.3.6-alpha.
    All servers running that version or later should really upgrade.
    
    Bug and fix from "some guy from France."  I tweaked his code slightly
    to make it log the IP of the offending node.
