That sounds like the bug I mentioned.
Eliminating the shutdown peer fixes the issue in the bug I mentioned.

Yeah, this one I know.  Very funny.  (But supposedly fixed quite a while ago in all still-maintained SX* trains).

The other one was news to me - and indeed, first thing I did was check whether there are any "down" peers, and I had one that was shutdown.

Since my original mail, the prefixes in "pending" went down to only 2, so it might have helped.  Or it just took a while to find a "quiet" time with no updates between two scanner runs, or whatever...
