 The CollecTor directory listings on Tor Metrics broke at or shortly after
 2017-12-11 13:08:

 https://metrics.torproject.org/collector/recent/relay-descriptors/server-
 descriptors/

 The index.json file looks okay right now:

 https://collector.torproject.org/index/index.json

 I suspect the reason is that some of the directories in `recent/`
 containing sanitized bridge descriptors ran dry yesterday afternoon. Maybe
 we ran into a `NullPointerException` or something.
