Thanks for the reply Andrew. I’ve reviewed the relevant Core sources and I do 
not see any problem. We have also synced against a Core node locally and not 
seen the problem.

The reason I suspected it was Core is that it is very common and all of the 
User Agents are consistent (with an occasional exception for forked nodes). So 
there’s no easy way to determine what sort of nodes we are seeing. 

We tend to cycle through many more connections during sync than a Core node, so 
may just be seeing it more frequently, but I assume Core would log this 
behavior as well. Even so, seeing that wouldn’t help much. I’m as certain as I 
can be at this point that we are setting the flag and version correctly (and 
that we do not set bip37 filters).

This behavior started infrequently with 0.14.0 peers and has become more common 
over time. Just wondering at this point what fork would report as Core and be 
that common? We used to drop peers that did this (for protocol noncompliance), 
and I’m considering reinstating that behavior.
