Comment (by arma):

 Arthur: can you attach an event log (setevents circ stream) here to show
 the problem?

 That way when other people here try to reproduce it, they'll know whether
 they're seeing what you see or not.

 Incidentally, it *is* expected behavior that Tor tries to launch a circuit
 right around the time you make your stream request. That is because Tor
 should attach the new stream to the preemptively built circuit, and then
 very soon after it will notice that it doesn't have enough preemptively
 built circuits hanging around anymore, and launch a new one.

 So one of the first debugging steps is to make sure you're not seeing and
 misinterpreting that behavior.
