------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 Starting in 0.2.4.10-alpha, with our changes to the minimal requirements
 for building circuits, clients never consider themselves to be ready to
 build paths if they're running on a testing tor network without bandwidth
 info.

 Instead they say:
 {{{
 Mar 18 12:00:21.000 [notice] I learned some more directory information,
 but not enough to build a circuit: We need more descriptors: we have 8/8,
 and can only build 0% of likely paths. (We have 0% of guards bw, 100% of
 midpoint bw, and 0% of exit bw.)
 }}}

 Found with Chutney.
