 I've noticed that with tor 0.2.4.10-ish, Vidalia can accumulate a lot of
 "Path Empty" circuits after a while. According to my control port, these
 are ONEHOP_TUNNEL circuits that haven't yet connected to a guard. They
 seem to stick around for days unless I close them.

 I suppose this could be due to the circuit build timeout changes in #7341,
 or Roger's "let circuits last forever if you have none open" hack from
 #3443, or directory guards, or $RANDOM_GUESS.

 I'll poke at it with gdb next time I notice it.
