Comment (by andrea):

 Replying to [comment:12 andrea]:
 >  * connection_handle_event_cb():
 >    - I think there's probably a bug here which could be triggered by an
 eof on an orconn which has already finished connecting, among other
 possible causes.
 >    - I believe the fix would be easy: move the conn->state ==
 OR_CONN_STATE_CONNECTING test into an inner if clause inside the
 conn->type == CONN_TYPE_OR test, and have an else clause that calls
 connection_or_close_for_error() rather than
 connection_or_connect_failed().
 >    - Demonstrating the bug or testing the proposed fix would be
 difficult due to this being bufferevent code, though.

 Created ticket #11307 for this.
