LND never finishes sync.

Macos 10.13.6, clean install everything from 5.1.1 release. LND is never able to finish sync, and getinfo always reports “synced_to_chain”: false.

It seems that restart after the initial scan should always be recommended/done. There’s this and also I was just able to reproduce this error where ZMQ missed a block and just fixed it by restarting lnd: https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/issues/1597
