Clients can go crazy when unable to find directory guards
When every possible node seems down, clients appear to go crazy adding the same nodes as guards over and over. I am betting that this is due to the new directory guard code.
I have a fix for this (in need of review) in branch "no_dup_guards" in my public repository.
Found while testing different failure modes with Chutney.
