Comment:

 Made a fix at git at github.com:altf4/tor.git 08b147f65a2213178924. (That
 exact version has some small formatting issues. A corrected version is
 forthcoming)

 The basic idea in the change is that when we get a large skew from an
 untrusted source, we contact a trusted dir. Then we set a flag we set any
 time skew data is received from a trusted dir so that we only bother the
 dir once.

 Per Sebastian: This does not cover the case of bridges with large time
 skews, as they do not use NETINFO cells.
