Node: "CHQ-PATRICKH-55008"
Database contains two rows.. other node is dead but was unable to remove the JDBC entry.

1) JChannel.connect(...)
2) JChannel.down(Event[CONNECT_WITH_STATE_TRANSFER_USE_FLUSH])
3) STATE_TRANSFER -> FRAG2 -> MFC -> UFC -> GMS
4) GMS.down(...) calls out to joinWithStateTransfer -> joinInternal(...)

JDBC pulls the node list from the database table.

Ping Data:

• CHQ-PATRICKH-3895, name=CHQ-PATRICKH-3895, addr=10.1.130.228:55503, server
• CHQ-PATRICKH-55008, name=CHQ-PATRICKH-55008, addr=10.1.130.228:57489

joinInternal is a never-terminating while loop:

• down: Event.FIND_INITIAL_MBRS_EVT
• inspect responses – no valid join responses
• responses are NOT empty -> does not become singletonMember
• gets all coordinators (none)
• Sorts all nodes by GUID in a TreeSet
• Is first of all joiners?
• No, another joiner is listed first

... repeat forever

When the process is restarted and a node ID < than the existing db entry is generated, it successfully takes over as owner.
