Comment (by nickm):

 The failure is the assertion failure in dns.c.  It looks like
 connection_dns_remove was called on an edge connection that wasn't
 actually pending according to the DNS code.

 I don't see any harm in turning this from an "assert(0)" into a warning
 message.

 I don't see any easy way for a UDP flood to have triggered this assertion,
 though.  Very interesting.
