Trouble with large txns or large blocks propagating

[spoonincode]

I'm having trouble with either large txns or large blocks propagating in a single producer, single node network. Specifically the create_test_accounts operation of txn_test_gen_plugin fails to initialize the currency contract unless I go and set def_max_just_send in the net_plugin to a high number. Then it works every time.

Unsure the details yet.

Can you enumerate the steps necessary to induce the trouble?

Two nodes -- producer and non-producer. After going through the BIOS ritual, I simply call the create_test_accounts endpoint for txn_test_gen_plugin on non-producing node --

curl --data-binary '["inita", "5KQwrPbwdL6PhXujxW37FSSQZ1JiwsST4cqQzDeyXtP79zkvFD3"]' http://localhost:8888/v1/txn_test_gen/create_test_accounts

After executing this command I expect to have a currency account complete with initialized currency contract. To validate this I run

./cleos get table currency currency accounts

But unless I jack up def_max_just_send, this command will return empty rows.

Be advised you will need PR #1989 for txn_test_gen_plugin to work entirely correctly.

I dialed down the max "just send it" size to 1, and everything still works.

I believe the problem in my tests is due to the large txns basically causing significant jumbling of txn ordering (which of course is completely allowed). Going to close for now.

@spoonincode no testing required, right?
