Hey, new aspiring node operator here. Trying to run a testnet node, but failing with the following:

` ERROR execute_checkpoint{seq=498601 epoch=5}: telemetry_subscribers: panicked at 'When executing checkpoint 498601, transaction DtEKRBjMQbVKYN3tX1qv5aFuNVAWP1nRnMNGT2Qw9rup is expected to have effects digest HZVboVjB63G5QqvtYzvU2jw2aKnMjU1KKap3yzop3HnT, but got 97tAnx246cUjrBW9TNJcp1ReGMestyJBfac2Svaq8PrN!', crates/sui-core/src/checkpoints/checkpoint_executor/mod.rs:518:9 panic.file="crates/sui-core/src/checkpoints/checkpoint_executor/mod.rs" panic.line=518 panic.column=9`

Looks like this question:

I should have latest stable release though, see my docker.compose.yaml:

```auto
version: "3.9"
services:
  fullnode:
    image: mysten/sui-node:stable
    ports:
    - "8084:8084/udp"
    - "9000:9000"
    - "9184:9184"
    volumes:
    - ./fullnode-template.yaml:/sui/fullnode.yaml:ro
    - ./genesis.blob:/sui/genesis.blob:ro
    - suidb:/sui/suidb:rw
    command: ["/usr/local/bin/sui-node", "--config-path", "fullnode.yaml"]
volumes:
  suidb:

```

Any pointers would be useful! Thanks!

Happens the same way on Devnet, but much later into sync, about two hours on my machine.
