 Did you need to restart the hidden-service server, or was sending NEWNYM
 to the client sufficient?

 If you needed to restart the HS server, the most likely remaining cause of
 this is the adaptive CBT code setting a timeout so low that the server
 cannot build circuits to HSDir nodes.  Nick has decided to not remove or
 disable adaptive circuit-build timeout, so if this is the problem, it
 won't be fixed.

 If you only needed to NEWNYM the client, that's a different bug, and
 potentially fixable.
