commit 77a193533966c5c2f81e6a85b3c2a7446076508f

    Fix (Open?)BSD fast-connect bug with optimistic data.
    
    There's an assertion failure that can occur if a connection has
    optimistic data waiting, and then the connect() call returns 0 on the
    first attempt (rather than -1 and EINPROGRESS).  That latter behavior
    from connect() appears to be an (Open?)BSDism when dealing with remote
    addresses in some cases. (At least, I've only seen it reported with
    the BSDs under libevent, even when the address was 127.0.0.1.  And
    we've only seen this problem in Tor with OpenBSD.)
    
    Fixes bug 9017; bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha, which first introduced
    optimistic data. (Although you could also argue that the commented-out
    connection_start_writing in 155c9b80 back in 2002 is the real source
    of the issue.)
