Comment (by mikeperry):
Well, the padding code tries to set connection lifetimes on the order of
an hour by controlling idle circuit lifetime. It tries to ensure that you
always have some kind of circuit open for around 30-60 minutes, even if
the client is idle. After that point, it stops holding circuits open or
building new ones, and then a few minutes after that, the client should
close the orconn itself.
So this bug should only affect padding overhead if there are buggy clients
(or alternate client implementations) that do not close their own idle
circuits and orconns.
