With the previous patch, the CSN generator was not updated.  The server 
with the greater timestamp could issue update operations that the 
consumer could not "overrule".

With the new patch, the csn generator on the consumer is immediately 
updated.

Note that with this patch, if there is some sort of ntp or vm problem 
that causes a large system time difference, the large time skews will be 
immediately propagated everywhere.

We need to figure out some way to safely "repair" or "reset" the CSN 
time generator, or, figure out some way to avoid large time skews 
altogether.
