Comment(by arma):

 Replying to [comment:23 robgjansen]:
 > I wonder if clients were simply 'crashing' in the unpatched network,
 causing them to no longer make requests. In one of your previous comments,
 you mention that you expected some simulated Tors to crash. Did you mean
 in the unpatched or patched case?

 I meant in either case, but we weren't expecting crashes in the unpatched
 case.

 By crash, you mean a client that seg faults or asserts and stops running?
 This seems very useful to teach Shadow to notice, yes? :)
