[arm-allstar] not connecting to certain nodes - node table database file

Mon Jun 15 18:53:47 EDT 2020

I really, really doubt re-flashing the SD card is going to fix the issue,
since node 51046 is able to connect to many other nodes successfully. And, 
I was just able to connect to 2585 from one of my HamVoIP test systems.

There is a well known issue where some ASL nodes DO NOT promptly get
nodelist updates, so in and out bound connections are impaired for a while. 
I experienced this first-hand just last week, where some ASL nodes were 
unreachable for about a whole day.  Node 2585 is an ASL node.
