 This can't happen, at least in the latest version: the intro point either
 sends INTRO_ESTABLISHED or closes the circuit.

 It's also not possible for an OOM to cause this: on OOM, the circuit is
 closed when the cells are discarded.

 There is no replay cache: that's rend points.

 (If the key is the same, the old circuit is replaced with the new circuit,
 and the old circuit is closed.)

 circuit but never sends the INTRO_ESTABLISHED cell?

 Or another bug?

 Then we'd need to fix this issue.
