Description:
When a node X dies,
the master Y will start take-over of that nodes transactions (TC-TakeOver)

If the master dies during this take-over,
the new master Z will currently *not* complete the take-over of X

This can lead to stale operations on datanodes,
with pain and misery as a consequence

How to repeat:
will write new test prg

Suggested fix:

Documented in the 5.1.24-ndb-6.3.14 changelog as follows:

        Under certain rare circumstances, the failure of the new master node
        while attempting a node takeover would cause takeover errors to repeat
        without being resolved.

Left Patch Queued status pending further merges.
