This comes and goes depending how many requests per time period occur
from a particular exit relay. If some jerk runs an attack or crawler
through a tor exit, cloudflare will respond with the captcha page
automatically. It's really not much different than the Google, Bing,
and other 'are you a human?' tests tor users occasionally encounter.
