BFD V1 Problem slide 2
Worse, if the two ends use different timers during session establishment (say, 1 sec on one end and 5 sec on the other) the deadlock scenario is guaranteed to happen repeatedly (unrecoverably.)

If there is a unidirectional failure, the deadlock scenario is guaranteed to happen 50% of the time (depending on who gets their packet across first) with the timer expiring to get the one guy out of Init state; then the dice roll again.
