Comment (by arma):

 Woah. Yeah. So, right now we close circuits 60 seconds after making them,
 even if we opt to make testing circuits much less frequently? That is,
 when we have any predicted ports, we're going to end up churning through
 all our circuits every minute, anyway? That's crummy. It seems like the
 idle-timeout-while-learning should be a function of the cbttestfreq?
