Comment(by arma):

 Replying to [comment:10 arma]:
 > So if a significant fraction of the clients are stalling, that's either
 a Tor bug (e.g. "for some reason the end cell gets lost") or a simulation
 bug (no example guesses yet there). But I guess if the client is no longer
 adding load to the network, it's not necessarily the case that lots of the
 clients are stalling -- it could be a few of them right at the beginning,
 and then they just disappear from the simulation after that. That case
 would especially influence the rest of the simulation since the client
 load has changed.

 I opened #5397 to focus on this question (since it came up in #5336 too).
