Comment(by arma):

 Replying to [ticket:6341 arma]:
 > "if (circ != conn->active_circuits)"

 Looks like that code went in as git commit 6589ea2a

 > that means random crashes for "connection_write_to_buf(NULL->body" if
 ewma enabled.

 I assume this refers to
 {{{
     connection_write_to_buf(cell->body, CELL_NETWORK_SIZE, TO_CONN(conn));
 }}}

 > just remove that condition block, no need any goto before every stream
 started reads and all circs with empty queue marked as inactive.

 So if conn->active_circuits changed, we should still call
 conn->active_circuits = *next_circ_on_conn_p(circ, conn); ?
 That seems unlikely to be right.

 > "&& queue->head" saves from crashes, but that condition is wrong anyway.
 you can't unblock streams when you need it.

 you never can flush more than 1 cell for ewma anyway? Why there are no
 consistent logic for just one small func?
