 The flash proxy facilitator forgets a client registration after giving it
 to a proxy. If the client wants another proxy, it has to register again.
 This strains the assumption that (covert, low-bandwidth) client
 registrations have to be done infrequently. Rather, the facilitator should
 make an educated guess as to how long a client address still needs
 service. Ideally, a client need register only once per Tor session.
