Hi, indeed miraculous.

Working till now, after about one hour uptime.

Particularily like watching circuits' getting 'wasted'. Yes, please !

Starting here:
@vallenator# grep empty /usr/local/etc/tor/debug.log | head -1
Apr 22 06:04:05.492 [info] circuit_expire_old_circuits_serverside():
Closing circ_id 12394 (empty 60 secs ago) (yes)

to here:
@vallenator# grep empty /usr/local/etc/tor/debug.log | tail -1
Apr 22 06:34:05.565 [info] circuit_expire_old_circuits_serverside():
Closing circ_id 59251 (empty 69 secs ago) (yes)

so almost  exactly 30 min have passed, and:

@vallenator# grep empty /usr/local/etc/tor/debug.log | wc -l
   34361
   ^^^^^
wow.

Connections/states have a growing tendency at a 'normal' rate, right now
around 4000. This is just fine.

If nothing weird happens, you may call this a node again.

Thanks for the brilliant patch.
