About an hour and a half ago, my node issued the following message.

Dec 04 04:03:56.685 [warn] Tried to establish rendezvous on non-OR or non-edge circuit.

What does it mean? And what triggers it? Is it attempting to use a relay listed in the directory and consensus, but finding that that relay's status has changed since the consensus?

This is a message frequently seen on relays for a while now, due to a bug in hidden service usage in 0.2.3.x clients. See https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/4171 for what we know about it. Basically, it doesn't indicate a problem with the relay, but rather the Tor client that uses the relay. Thus, we will soon go ahead

Yes, I had gathered that much.

and stop logging this at default log levels, and also fix it on the client side.

Urrgh... It looks like you and Robert have a good handle on it, so I won't worry about it if I see it again. Thanks much, Sebastian!
