---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
 Tor clients record (HS descriptor ID, HSDir relay, time) tuples in a table
 (`last_hid_serv_requests`), and refuse to query an HSDir relay for an HS
 descriptor ID if it has already done so within the last 15 minutes.  I
 thought clearing this table on SIGNAL NEWNYM would be unnecessary in most
 cases, and would put more load than appropriate in HSDir relays.  I was
 wrong about it being unnecessary -- I've run out of HSDirs to query at
 least three times while testing whether one of my hidden services was
 running.
