Comment (by arma):

 Ah ha! I had forgotten this ticket. I believe it is fully explained by
 #33880 -- these are reachability tests by directory authorities, and in
 0.3.1.1-alpha (ticket #17592, commit d5a151a0) we changed the timeout
 parameters such that it is quite likely that you will still have an old
 connection open from a directory authority when the next reachability test
 connection arrives. The numbers from the log message here line up
 perfectly with the numbers from the log message in that newer ticket.
