 Migrated from old trac ticket #467:

 "When Tor detects that the clock has jumped, it will destroy existing
 circuits and create new ones (or/circuitbuild.c:737).

 Once Tor has created new circuits, it will trigger the same events as
 would happen if Tor had established its first circuit, including sending
 the CIRCUIT_ESTABLISHED control event and BOOTSTRAP_STATUS_DONE bootstrap
 event (or/circuitbuild.c:682)

 Vidalia/Tor? Browser Bundle uses CIRCUIT_ESTABLISHED to launch Firefox and
 Pidgin. So when this scenario occurs, there will the two instances
 running. This would be confusing to users.

 This is not considered a Tor bug, so should be fixed in Vidalia.
