Actually, thinking about it more, a worse case is if B reaches
ESTAB and then A reboots.  Now, A sends an Open, gets back
a Confirm that A will ignore (due to no plid).  A will still
timeout and send a Close frame to restart everything, but we
would have to wait quite a while to re-establish the peering.
