Comment:

 Ok, figured it out through more work arounds.......

 Connections get cut using only 1 Guard with EntryGuards set, but setting
 NumEntryGuards to above 3 works great as intended.  Better in fact than
 UseEntryGuards 0 was doing (better peers).

 Setting NumEntryGuards is the same as what I want.
