Comment:

 No one I've asked seems to be able to reproduce this on a modern tor.
 There's some evidence that such a bug might have existed back before
 0.2.0, but it seems like it's gone in supported releases.

 rl1987, thanks again for working on this patch.  I'm sorry it turns out to
 be unnecessary.
