Comment(by atoruser):

 Even after upgrading the hidden service and the client to 0.2.2.32 this
 problem continues to happen.

 Here is the log of my application trying to connect to the hidden service
 which I know is up.

 Sep 11 09:25:46.337 [notice] Based on 1000 circuit times, it looks like we
 don't need to wait so long for circuits to finish. We will now assume a
 circuit is too slow to use after waiting 10 seconds.
