direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.

Most likely this is some other "broadcast" that drbdsetup mistakenly
tries interprets as some state information by DRBD, instead of ignoring it.
If I figure out what exactly happens there, that should be fixed soon.

I don't think it is reason to worry,
unless you are trying do to advanced scripting
around the drbdsetup events interfaces,
where it would be very annoying to have it break too often.

Then again, seeing that it works for me,
maybe it was simply a bad build on your side.
In that case, you need to fix it.
