commit 68a2e4ca4baa595cc4595a511db11fa7ccbbc8f7
Author: Roger Dingledine <arma at torproject.org>
Date:   Mon Jul 28 02:44:05 2014 -0400

    Warn and drop the circuit if we receive an inbound 'relay early' cell
    
    Those used to be normal to receive on hidden service circuits due to bug
    1038, but the buggy Tor versions are long gone from the network so we
    can afford to resume watching for them. Resolves the rest of bug 1038;
    bugfix on 0.2.1.19.
