 logging to the controller until after the assert, and tor_assert doesn't
 disable control logging) and die.

 think it also tries to flush to the controller.

 Yes, it does log but doesn't call CONN_LOG_PROTECT() again, so an infinite
 loop isn't possible here.

 > I'm not smart enough right now to be confident that this is safe. And if
 we currently think the tor_assert is never triggered, but we don't know
 what would happen if it is, we're basically putting down a landmine for
 our future selves.

 I'm not saying our behavior is safe because we don't think we're currently
 not triggering the assert
