Comment:

 Replying to [ticket:4367 arma]:
 > ...these tors will close the conn when they ought to (at least based on
 what the code is trying to do; it's up for grabs if this is actually the
 right behavior) be just not authenticating.

 If the response is "just drop it", then we end up never sending the
 netinfo cell. That's a separate bug: I've opened it as #4368.
