Message "storm" between two signal-cli systems

[Jirka75]

Two users without smart phones. Each user has a computer containing signal-cli daemon and Signal desktop client. Communication with "smartphone users" works without a problem. Both Lubuntu based systems (NB - 20.04 and PC - 18.04) with signal-cli 0.9.0 and signal desktop 5.18.1.

Sending one or two messages from each side between this two computers leads to a traffic storm of (in this instance) about 80 messages per second for as long as BOTH signal-cli daemons are running, or "relay server" terminates connection due to too many messages.

Tested also without --ignore-attachments switch, messages sent from signal desktop or via "signal-cli --dbus send -m", tested even with closed signal desktop applications. Tested also with signal-cli running as a user service. All leads to this issue of infinite cycle of messages.
Attached logs from either side of communication. "Storm" stopped by terminating signal-cli daemon on PC side (other side would work too) and then started again:

cycle_signalPC1_send_an.txt

cycle_signalNB_recieve_an.txt

Thanks for the report, I think I found the issue.
Can you retry with the latest master if it resolves the issue?
You can get a prebuilt version here, once the build is done: https://github.com/AsamK/signal-cli/actions/runs/1346975707

This is great, it looks like the issue is no more. Infinite message cycle will not develop even if just one side is replaced with the new version (signal-cli-archive-16). Both sides with the new version work great too. Thank you.
