Comment:

 Thanks for the testing timonh.

 I pushed a branch `bug19522` in my repo, so that people can test further:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/asn/tor.git

 FWIW, I read some code to verify the assumption of comment:1 and it seems
 to be accurate. But more digging and testing is required to get better
 confidence, as those functions were quite hairy.
