 immediate failure in bufferevent_connect_hostname()?

 Hm, I think the basic idea is to have a circuit already created when
 `bufferevent_connect_hostname()` is called. I don't see the idea of
 setting ''callbacks _after_ bufferevent_connect_hostname()'' in the code:
 https://gitorious.org/obfsproxy/obfsproxy/blobs/bug5156_take2/src/network.c#line649

 Specifically, the idea is to have '''nothing''' after
 `bufferevent_socket_connect_hostname()`, because of comment:8.

 Am I misunderstanding you?

 > Other than that, I'd say "test it and merge it!"  (Maybe ask roger to
 test it too: he seems to be pretty good at reproducing the original bug.)

 I tested it. The bug is indeed quite easily reproducible, just kill your
 network interface, fire up `obfsproxy obfs2 socks 127.0.0.1:5555` and
 point a socks client to it (say have `ClientTransportPlugin obfs2 socks4
 127.0.0.1:5555` and `Bridge obfs2 8.8.8.8:1051` in your torrc.)

 Still, it would be great if Roger tested it too, before merging.
