Comment(by nickm):

 Ah, it looks like there's an ordering bug here.
 bufferevent_connect_hostname is allowed to complete immediately while it
 is called, but the function calling it assumes that it's okay to set up
 the ->circuit pointer after the open_outbound_hostname call returns.

 So the right fix here seems to be setting the circuit earlier, I guess?
