Comment:

 This is urgent to backport to 0.2.3 because of the shorter read bucket
 refill times. (Alternatively, the authorities could set the refill time
 to, say, 500 msec until 0.2.3 is obsolete, or tell 0.2.3 to use 500 msec
 intervals and give 0.2.4 Tors with this patch a new consensus variable to
 look at.)

 The second fix I suggest above is less urgent, since the issue it fixes
 isn't a regression.  It's also trickier to do, since the most obvious
 implementations would seem to allow a loud stream to starve a quiet stream
 if they share a circuit.
