 It's short and sweet and fixes the issue completely, but doesn't add
 safeguards.

 Backporting da919001 is my preference.  No need to solve the same problem
 in two different ways.

 Sorry for not seeing this before.  I tested that a 0.2.2.x relay with my
 patch a) doesn't crash immediately without a geoip file and b)
 successfully writes stats with a geoip file in the default config.  What I
 didn't test was c) that it doesn't break without a geoip file after some
 time.  Bah.
