Comment(by asn):

 I guess I'll just leave this here:
 https://gitorious.org/mytor/mytor/commits/bug3095

 It's not the best solution and possibly not the best implementation, but
 it's a start.

 It should crash pre-d7be44f2380186c913be5a927d67b55e30e313c4 clients like
 this:
 {{{
 routerparse.c:2828 get_next_token: Assertion eol >= (*s+16) failed;
 aborting.
 Aborted
 }}}

 FWIW, I don't have any particular feelings about this. I just found it a
 fun thing to do at the hackfest today.
