+ o Security fixes:
+ - Tear down the circuit if we get an unexpected SENDME cell. Clients
+ could use this trick to make their circuits receive cells faster
+ than our flow control would have allowed, or to gum up the network,
+ or possibly to do targeted memory denial-of-service attacks on
+ entry nodes. Fixes bug 6252. Bugfix on the 54th commit on Tor --
+ from July 2002, before the release of Tor 0.0.0.
