A key is permanently broken

[R0quef0rt]

I am reporting a bug in the 0.2020.520 version of GUNDB, where something caused a specific key ('messages') to break indefinitely. I was using the following code at the time:

messages = gun.get('messages')
channel = messages.get('channels').get(targetChannel)
channel.get({ '.': { '>': timeStamp.format('YYYY/MM/DD hh:mm:ss') } }).map().map().on(async function(node, message){}

All of a sudden, the 'messages' key stopped working. The event listener just doesn't fire at all. If I change the key, and use the exact same code, things are fine.

Mark reports that he has seen this before, and that he thinks it's related to the lexical query. However, removing the lex doesn't fix the problem. The 'messages' key appears to be broken for even the simplest of use-cases.

I fixed this by using a different key. But obviously, it's bad if a key can be broken forever.

@R0quef0rt are you able to replicate this again, getting it to break?

Yes I am. I wouldn't know how to replicate the issue in a new environment, but my old one is still broken. I've moved to a different key at this point.

Here's one of three superpeers currently affected by it: https://resistance-tower.herokuapp.com/gun
