Comment(by mikeperry):

 14:11 < mwenge> mikeperry: i'm interested in testing bug 1298 more. i
 tried
                 camilo's script but didn't get the same results as the bug
 report
 14:21 < mikeperry> mwenge: nickm was suspecting it was possibly due to bad
                    libevents on certain OSes
 14:22 < mikeperry> did you notice anything like that?
 14:22 < mwenge> mikeperry: no, the results were consistently inconsistent
 across
                 a bunch of exits of varying versions
 14:22 < mikeperry> am I reading this right? is torserversdotnet the most
 fair in
                    this list in the bug?
 14:23 < mwenge> it's also the first one i tried
 14:27 < mikeperry> so they get less fair the more you try?
 14:28 < mwenge> my impression is they get less fair the more you try on
 the same
                 exit
 14:31 < mikeperry> in the same circuit, or different circuits?
 14:31 < mwenge> on the same circuit
 14:31 < mwenge> i'm running it again here on different circuits and the
 results
                 are very mixed
 14:33 < mwenge> on the whole a small minority of tests exhibit really
 unfair
                 balancing
 14:33 < mikeperry> if its the same circuit, it could be our SENDME windows
                    killing the later ones
