New description:

 I found this on irc. So I have no idea if it's for real. The person
 indicated
 it was on 0.2.2.5-alpha.

 [Info] buf_shrink_freelists():
 Cleaning freelist for 4096-byte chunks: keeping 9, dropping 1.
 [Error] Bug: buffers.c:269: buf_shrink_freelists: Assertion
 (*chp)->next fail

 He also said "polipo still not starting with vidalai 2.5", so I'm thinking
 probably Windows.

Comment:

 See branch warn1125 in my public repo.  It doesn't fix the root problem,
 but it downgrades it from an assertion failure to a LD_BUG warning.
