 pion-webrtc at v2.0.23 and restored the manual fixups. Then I singularly
 upgraded pion-sctp to v1.6.4. You can see exactly the changes

 Can someone try one of the bundles in https://people.torproject.org/~dcf
 /pt-bundle/tor-browser-pion-webrtc-20190901-6bfc0beea2/ and see if it
 works?

 Interesting...

 I downloaded `https://people.torproject.org/~dcf/pt-bundle/tor-browser-
 pion-webrtc-20190901-6bfc0beea2/tor-browser-linux64-9.0a4_en-US.tar.xz`
 and extracted the `snowflake-client` executable and ran it in snowbox.

 The client bootstrapped fully to 100%. Logs are:

 This was with a standalone proxy also running the pion library and with a
 standalone proxy without pion.

 Then I ran this in snowbox with only a browser-based proxy running and I
 got the same failure where it doesn't bootstrap past 10%. Log:

 So a pion client must not be working well with the browser based proxies.
 I tried running a non-pion client just to make sure it wasn't a problem
 with the proxy code and that client bootstrapped fine.
