Description

The test prune_excess_peers fails when running against Rust 1.81

 panicked at /Users/eitan/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/quickcheck-1.0.3/src/tester.rs:165:28:

Error: "user-provided comparison function does not correctly implement a total order"

I believe its related to the new sort impls in 1.81 that panic if they're unable to meaningfully sort a result (instead of just returning randomly sorted data) https://blog.rust-lang.org/2024/09/05/Rust-1.81.0.html#new-sort-implementations
