There are two additional changes aside from the mono patch being
introduced in 3.6.0.
The first is an introduction of a time to live on the gossip messages
so if the queue gets blocked they will not be sent later (which was
the cause of the time differences messages). This is not however the
root cause and only affects this symptom of the underlying issue.
The root cause of the blocking was WebRequest blocking. This is also
to be resolved in 3.6.0 with a move to httpclient.
This may or may not fix everything in the scenario. I can reproduce
your scenario easily, what I do not know is the underlying root cause
you were experiencing that caused the blocking. Likely my mono patch
resolves this. The system will at least behave properly now in the
case that things do end up blocking and there is additional data now
in case it persists.
3.6.0 can be expected by next week.
