OTR fingerprint mismatch #34

It seems that OTR fingerprints sometimes do not match (even when there is no MITM). This seems to happen randomly. It does not happen every time.

Scenario: Two people join Cryptocat

Person A sees his own fingerprint as: ABC123
Person B sees person A's fingerprint as: BBB222

This is a real security issue, please investigate. I'm investigating too right now.

Please excuse me, the problem was not with your repo but with my code. It was a race condition. I've fixed it (hopefully).
