    It looks like this is meant to be restartable, in that it will allow a 
stopped tracker to call `start()` again. If that's the case, then 
`receivedBlockTracker` needs to be nulled in `stop()`, and then this check 
isn't needed I think because it should really be null. In fact if you like you 
can require that it's null, and that endpoint is null, in `start()`?
    
    But then ... I think this method needs to throw an exception also if 
`isTrackerStopping` at the start. It won't observe the intermediate state 
because of syncrhonization, but it could be left in this state if stopping 
failed.
    
    I am wary of going too far down a path of fixing or changing the corner 
cases here. I do agree that there's a legitimate mismatch between where the 
tracker is initialized and stopped, and I think the changes you made and that 
possibly the ones I mention here together improve the situation without 
complicating it further.
