 > I'm re-running my big suite of experiments now so we can count the
 errors in a larger sample.

 I've attached the
 [https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/attachment/ticket/6341/updated-
 full-time-to-bootstrap.pdf full time to bootstrap graph] that aggregates
 all 24 experiments from the 'suite' I've been running. I've also counted
 the number of socks errors from each variation we ran:

 || '''variation''' || '''notes''' || '''total socks errors in 24
 experiments''' ||
 || default || before bugfix || 1398 ||
 || fetchearly || FetchDirInfoEarly 1 || 2896 ||
 || bugfix || default, after bugfix || 1 ||
