 I suggest to add a new torrc config variable:
 {{{
 MaxClientCircuitsPendingPerHS hsCircuitsPending
 }}}
 This will be in addition to the existing
 {{{
 MaxClientCircuitsPending staticCircuitsPending
 }}}

 The actual number of pending circuits then will be determined by the
 formula:
 {{{
 totalCircuitsPending = staticCircuitsPending + hsCircuitsPending*numHS
 }}}
 where numHS is the current number of hidden services.

 This way, when the apps would open many hidden services, this will also
 increase the limit on pending circuits, and the possibility of running out
 of them will decrease.
