 circuit_successes (M/m) for guard <nick>.

 Hundreds of these on a normal client? Are you doing anything atypical?

 For example, are you running a hidden service? Running a relay? Running a
 network scanner? Using a custom Tor controller?

 > There are a few accompanying entries shown below, but note primarily
 that the above style uselessly lists only the <nick>, while the below
 style needlessly lists it.
 > [notice] Low circuit success rate M/n for guard <nick>=<fp>.

 You get both this message and the above message for the same guard? I
 assume you mean the nicks match still? If so, for now you can still
 inspect your tor state to find the guards that have matching success
 rates, to verify you have two guards with the same nick but different
 EntryGuardPathBias counts.

 What ranges of values of M, m, and n have you seen for each case?
