Comment:

 So, my first shot at this in 0.2.2, if it's an 0.2.2-only issue, would be
 to add a new circuit purpose for handling anonymized directory
 connections, since the purpose isolation code seems to work pretty well
 there.  I've got a tentative patch there in branch "bug5283_022_v1" in my
 public git repository.  You can try the patch here:

 https://gitweb.torproject.org/nickm/tor.git/patch/41079e070028b6b73a490dd23c565cedf7921f0a?hp=436654ee9670aed5f21f571f3eae743c109a2eba

 Warning: it is totally unreviewed by anybody but me, and I've only given
 it a few minutes of testing.  It might or might not work at all, crash
 horribly, etc.
