Hi,

For the Outreachy.org internship project I decided to take on bug #33677 [1].

I followed steps to run `make test-network-all` both on tor master and maint-0.3.5 branches, using Chutney master branch. I tested before and after tweaking value of HS_WAIT_FOR_UNCHECKED_DIR_INFO just to ensure my testing environment was sane; all tests passed (except for two that were skipped on master: mixed+hs-v23 and mixed+hs-v23-ipv6, and one on 0.3.5: mixed+hs-v2, I assume this is expected though) on the first go, on both branches of Tor.

Tests pass on Tor master after setting HS_WAIT_FOR_UNCHECKED_DIR_INFO to 0, but on maint-0.3.5 I've run tests a few times (both with and without CHUTNEY_DEBUG set) each time with a different outcome. Some of the tests which fail: basic-min [2], single-onion-v23 [3], bridges+ipv6-min [4], and ipv6-exit-min [5]. I have excerpted logs at the bottom of this message, narrowed down to test failures; let me know if I need to provide full logs or additional information.

I'll keep digging on this issue; I just wanted to show my current progress and share what I hope to be useful information.
