How to reproduce...

Start Tor with a skewed clock. For example, +/- one week.

Tor will detect, that the clock is skewed.

Received directory with skewed time (server '...'):
It seems that our clock is ahead by 6 days, 23 hours,
59 minutes, or that theirs is behind. Tor requires an
accurate clock to work: please check your time,
timezone, and date settings.

I learned some more directory information, but not
enough to build a circuit: We have no recent usable
consensus.

Then reset clock back to correct time. Tor will also detect that.

Your system clock just jumped 604800 seconds backward;
assuming established circuits no longer work.

Result:

Tor still won't work (no connections possible).

Expected result:

Tor recovers and can now connect.
