One of our environments does cascading replication of one database (the master for the other databases in this environment is a syncrepl refreshAndPersist syncrepl client to a database in another environment).

We monitor the replication status of all our slaves by comparing the contextCSN on each database with the contextCSN of the updateref, and I have noticed that the contextCSN on the cascaded replicas is not being updated, even though the entries have been replicated (according to logging at sync level on these slaves). All other replication (including non-cascaded refreshAndPersist databases) works fine. All the servers in question are currently on 2.3.40.

It seems that the issue can be reproduced with current REL_ENG_2_3, with a slight modification to test019 (see patch below) to include the contextCSN in the comparison, which will then fail as follows:

I've reproduced this issue in RE23 as well. I note that there's no such problem with RE24. If we can't track this down easily I'm inclined to just ignore it.
