[tor-commits] [tor/release-0.2.3] When iterating over connections pending DNS, skip marked ones

commit 223e7cfabec5a75a7acd919210f838511e39cb16

    When iterating over connections pending DNS, skip marked ones
    
    Failure to do this would lead to double-free cases and similar,
    especially when the exit's DNS was broken. See bug 6472 for full
    details; this is a fix for 6472.
    
    Anonymous patch from "cypherpunks" on trac.
