Comment:

 See branch `bug15937_028_01`.

 Tested and the 7th connection no longer kill all the others. Easy test:
 {{{
 for i in `seq 1 7`; do
         torsocks wget http://someaddress.onion &
 done
 }}}

 Note that once the descriptor arrives, the 5 other HSDir connections are
 _not_ terminated immediately. It doesn't cause a bug or anything, it's
 maybe an unnecessary load on the network to keep them finishing. I'll open
 a bug later about that.
