 This can happen when we cannibalize a circuit which has already been
 cannibalized. Wanoskarnet contributed a patch that prevents this by making
 sure not to cannibalize circuits that are longer than three hops already.
 I believe the change does make sense, as we don't really want to build any
 super long circuits anyway.

 I'm targetting this as a bugfix on the 0.2.3 release, I don't think we
 need to backport it to 0.2.2.x. Please make sure this makes sense to you,
 too.
