Comment(by arma):

 Looks reasonable.

 My first minor suggestion would be to put a comment in the code as to why
 we have that extra case, and a short comment in the changes file saying
 what that lets you do.

 Second minor suggestion would be to switch the
 accounting_set_wakeup_time() function to use your new
 accounting_get_interval_length() abstraction rather than its
 time_in_interval variable.

 The broader suggestion would be, if we want an alternate more explicit way
 to do this (rather than relying on a hack), to have another torrc option
 (e.g. AccountingTrack) which explicitly says to do all the accounting
 stuff but not for hibernating. I don't think this change is a big enough
 deal to matter either way though.
