Comment (by dcf):

 Replying to [comment:10 nickm]:
 > I note that should_delay_dir_fetches() doesn't look at DisableNetwork.
 Does the above patch (the one in comment 7) generate warnings with
 DisableNetwork?

 I added `DisableNetwork 1` to the torrc from comment:8, and got:
 {{{

 info-level logging prints a lot more, but I suppose what you're interested
 in is:
