commit d9200d853d5b9125ebcb47ae5a02ef0cd52f436a
Author: Nick Mathewson <nickm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Thu Dec 8 12:59:58 2016 -0500

    Make NumEntryGuards work as expected again.
    
    Further, add a "guard-n-primary-guards-to-use" parameter, defaulting
    to 1, for NumEntryGuards to override.
