That's the issue, no-one initiated a replica init.  But somehow, that  
master saw one come over the wire.

We are using a BIGIP to load-balance our customer's access, but  
obviously you can't load-balance replication.  Our replication  
agreements point to the servers themselves, not to the advertised  
service on the load balancer.

It does look like, from the logs, there were some communication  
errors, but we can't avoid those.  The replication protocol should be  
robust enough to handle that.
