Comment:

 backflash, the bug was triggered by accidentally releasing from the git
 master rather than stable branch.  Which doesn't explain why the bug was
 only visible in the master branch, because I think it's in stable too.
 Probably, there were just larger numbers of rulesets and exclusions in
 master, which exposed the loop variable clobbering problem that you found.
 Also, [https://gitweb.torproject.org/https-
 everywhere.git/commitdiff/975f03c86e76bc38dcc4d9a8a909ee671976090d this
 patch] was in stable but not in master, and it caused many rulesets to be
 checked twice on a given request (in fact you can see that happening in
 the logs that realityexists pasted above.

 I'm going to apply your patch to stable and master.
