Comment (by dcf):

 It's looking like the cause of this may have been unreliable standalone
 proxies--they were frequently crashing and being restarted. See
 comment:39:ticket:21312.

 But that should be fixed now: see comment:57:ticket:21312.

 So if you can, please try snowflake again and see if you continue to get
 the "Your Guard is failing an extremely large amount of circuits".

 You will need to unpack a fresh copy of the browser, because the
 information about failed circuits is cached in the state file. You can try
 this build, which I just made for #25579.
