 > Hi Nick. For what it's worth those errors generally mean that a prior
 test crashed or otherwise buggered up its tor instance, causing future
 tests to be unable to authenticate.

 could make stem abort its test run when authentication begins failing.
 That would cut down on this kind of 'spam' but when this occurrences the
 proper next step are to look at the test and tor logs.

 I think that the right response might be to abort whatever loop is
 spinning here rather than retrying it over and over?  I wouldn't mind a
 few messages of this kind per test when something is broken, but spamming
 them like this tends to fill up CI logs.  Anything that would make the
 output _shorter_ in this case would be cool with me.
