Comment (by nickm):

 Hm. We could easily just change the warning to end "Optimistically marking
 [any] stalled directory downloads as retryable" ?

 And we could change "Application request" to better describe whether it's
 a user request or an internally-generated stream?

 This looks, maybe, like some kind of crazy deadlock where we can't
 download directory info without circuits, and we can't open circuits
 without directory info?  Did we have one of those recently?
