Comment(by arma):

 If we keep the code, we should apply this patch:
 {{{
 diff --git a/src/or/relay.c b/src/or/relay.c
 index f58c5c9..a80cebb 100644
 --- a/src/or/relay.c
 +++ b/src/or/relay.c

          /* else, conn will get closed below */
          break;
        case END_STREAM_REASON_CONNECTREFUSED:
 -        if (!conn->chosen_exit_optional)
 +        if (conn->chosen_exit_name && !conn->chosen_exit_optional)
            break; /* break means it'll close, below */
          /* Else fall through: expire this circuit, clear the
           * chosen_exit_name field, and try again. */
 }}}
