Comment(by andrea):

 Okay, I think I understand this one now.  There are three places new
 channels get created: from circuitbuild.c in
 channel_connect_for_circuit(), which then immediately calls
 command_setup_channel() on them; incoming connections from a channel
 listener get passed to the handler, command_handle_incoming_channel() in
 command.c, which does the same.  The other case is dirserv reachability
 testing dirserv_single_reachability_test() of dirserv.c, which doesn't
 install incoming cell handlers.  Whoops!  The channel gets a cell from the
 remote end that stays stuck forever and then closes with a non-empty
 queue.

 Obvious fix: make it call command_setup_channel() too so those channels
 route cells to the right place.  Query, though: if no handlers are
 available to drain the queue when closing the channel, is asserting in the
 case that it has leftover cells the right thing?
