Comment (by arma):

 Hm! I think our definition of 100% bootstrapped is that we made a circuit.
 Is that so terrible a definition?

 What situation is causing us to set DisablePredictedCircuits without a
 controller generating its own circuits? That is, is this just a
 pathological config, or is it actually a thing that somebody wants to do?

 And lastly, be aware that "80% connecting to tor network" is the initial
 bootstrap message if you start Tor with enough cached dir info. That is,
 seeing 80% doesn't mean anything at all in this case about whether the
 network is plugged in.
