The function for checking if there is an node address conflict is supposed to return a suggestion for a new address if it finds a conflict, and zero otherwise. But in case the peer being checked is previously unknown it does instead return a "suggestion" for the checked address itself. This results in a DSC_TRIAL_FAIL_MSG being sent unecessarily to the peer, and sometimes makes the trial period starting over again.
