Comment(by asn):

 Please see branch `bug5083` in
 `https://git.gitorious.org/obfsproxy/obfsproxy.git`.

 It disables connection statistics for obfsproxy when in client/socks-mode,
 and it tweaks the code a bit.

 Roger would like a client counter in heartbeat too. Seems like a good
 idea. Unfortunately, the length of the `connections` smartlist in
 `network.c` doesn't match the number of clients, since each client
 corresponds to two connections in obfsproxy (one upstream, one
 downstream). I am wondering whether dividing the `connections` smartlist
 length by 2 and rounding it down gives us the correct answer every time,
 even when only one end of the connection is connected.
