 When I check circuits via `getinfo circuit-status` after sending NEWNYM
 signal it seems that tor doesn't change the circuit at all.

 Steps to reproduce:
 1. Start tor with control port.
 2. Connect to control port, authenticate, `setevents signal`
 3. Repeat `getinfo circuit-status` and `signal newnym`
 4. During that, make no requests through tor.

 Example log attached.

 I thought that response 650 indicates that circuit was successfully
 changed.
