Comment(by cypherpunks):

 Replying to [comment:12 mikeperry]:
 > Ok. In your case, the assert no longer happens because in 0.2.4.10-alpha
 we fixed the preceeding NULL by not sending path bias probes on
 NULL/closed channels, which is what you're inducing by changing gateways.
 >
 > I am wondering if there are other cases where we could hit this assert,
 though. Basically any time a stream attempt is made to a slow/unresponsive
 host where we then give up on the circuit and try to close it (or time it
 out) before detaching the stream, we could hit this.

 CIRCUIT_PURPOSE_PATH_BIAS_TESTING as well as
 CIRCUIT_PURPOSE_C_MEASURE_TIMEOUT? I could imagine cases where circuits in
 both purposes might end up down this codepath. I'm surprised we haven't
 seen it before for CIRCUIT_PURPOSE_C_MEASURE_TIMEOUT circs, actually.

 Hi mike,
 you may be interested in my reply to #8136 - the crash happened on
 0.2.4.10-alpha.
