Hi Nick,

Robert Ransom replied off-list explaining the intent of this code. For
the sake of the list archives: the constant prevents repeated
successful queries to the same HSDir, and repeated unsuccessful
queries during a single connection attempt. The rationale for not also
using it to limit unsuccessful queries during distinct connection
attempts is given in ticket 3335.

Cheers,
Michael
