 Replying to [comment:8 nickm]:
 > It looks plausible to me, but I don't know my way around this code as
 well as I used to.  Have you tried this out?  Does it work for you?  Is
 there some way for us to test it?

 Not too easy to test... I've tried couple of things but unsuccessful...

 But now I'm unsure here that `CIRCUIT_PURPOSE_C_ESTABLISH_REND` is the
 right purpose here... The warning only happens if the purpose is
 `CIRCUIT_PURPOSE_C_REND_JOINED` so seems that maybe once we hit that for
 the client connection, we should maybe flag the circuit has timed out and
 unattached all connections from it and either start a new rend circuit or
 kill everyone?
