#8599: PathsNeededToBuildCircuits option is broken
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  karsten     |          Owner:                    
     Type:  defect      |         Status:  new               
 Priority:  minor       |      Milestone:  Tor: 0.2.5.x-final
Component:  Tor         |        Version:

------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 The PathsNeededToBuildCircuits config option added in 02c32091 can be set
 to a value between 0.25 and 0.95, but that value is only used in
 nodelist.c if it's >= 1.0 which should probably be >= 0.0.  Also, the
 check for too high values (> 0.95) is broken, setting all valid values to
 0.95.  See
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/karsten/tor.git/shortlog/refs/heads/paths-
 needed-option branch paths-needed-option in my public repo].  Not adding a
 ChangeLog entry, because this bug is not in a released version, AFAIK.
