 I was testing #23101 by connecting to a few hidden services, and I noticed
 that my client would create about 7 intro circs and 7 rend circs before
 finally connecting to a single HS. Apparently it was creating circs and
 timing them and then making more.

 I'm not sure if this is caused by the current damaged state of the
 network, but it definitely is not making it better if a single client is
 causing so many circuits.

 I'll be attaching logs in the next comment.
