Goal

When cascade discount (on cycle arrear fees) is canceled and purchased in the same cycle, only the first portion of the active period got discounted and the second portion got left out.

Example:
The bill cycle is Mar 5 to Apr 5; cancel discount on Mar 10 and purchase the same discount on the same day; only Mar 5 to Mar 10 got charged ; Mar 10 to Apr 5 got left out.

Configuration:
* create 2 products, one is purchase fee and the other one is cycle arrear (CA) fee
* create a discount, it gives 100% discount on the CA fee
* create a discount with the discount model as created above
* create a deal D1 with the above 2 products and the discount
* create a plan P1 with above D1
* consider DOM=5 , billing_delay=1

Scenario:
* 05March, create account with the above plan P1
   The event generated is , e1 = 6.48 (this is the purchase fee)
* 10 March, cancel the discount using input flist (shown below)
* 15 March, purchase the same discount using opcode and flist (shown below)
* 07April, run billing for the account.

Below events are generated :
e2 = 8.03 (this is the cycle arrear charge)
e3 = -1.295 (this is discount for the period 5March to 10March)

Problem :
Discount for the second portion (15 March to 5 April) got left out.

In the discount trace, there is the message:

       "..Ignored packet Id: 1 due to cascading and totalMatchFactor >= 1.."

Could this be the cause of the problem?
