Comment (by gk):

 Could you try testing with
 http://www.thomasfrank.se/sessvarsTestPage1.html? I am currently
 recompiling my build to be absolutely sure I tested your patches but it
 seems your patch does not handle this testcase (see #3414 for context).

 There seem to be in fact two issues:

 1) If I understand this correctly then caching might bypass the
 protections in your patch.
 2) But even if I disable caching and disable sending the Referer header
 your code behaves differently than the one in 5.0.3.

 (I think I made sure I used a Torbutton version with your Torbutton patch
 applied to, too).
