Well, at least that confirms what I suspected. What actually seems to be
happening is that DATA messages are queued until the next circuit timer whereas
EOF messages are sent immediately. This is obviously a bug as, you have seen, if
the EOF happens when there is data pending then that data never gets sent.

So, as I mentioned, I need to delay the deletion of circuits untill all the data
has been transmitted. I'll look into it.
