 If I set ExitNodes to a country digraph (e.g. {fr}) then most of the
 circuits delivering my traffic exit via the specified country (these are
 normal 3 hop circuits).

 I also see circuits with 4 hops where the third hop will be in my chosen
 country but the fourth hop will not. I presume these circuits are being
 used as described in the man page as they seem to appear after a
 DIR_FETCH. However, once the circuit has been created it is then used to
 deliver my traffic for aprroximately the next 10 minutes even though the
 circuit is exiting via a node in the "wrong" country.
