Comment(by grarpamp):

 Being old school unix, they deserve what they get :)
 These types of users don't read the log/manual anyways.

 Where's the warning...
 When using exits on the unofficial bad exit lists?
 The one for running Tor HS on unpatched OS's?
 The one for running an exit to port 80?
 For accepting socks requests to surf frowned
 upon sites?
 From adminning control port over the suggested
 encryption from their cracked and keylogged host?

 Meh, user education aside, it just looks like something crapped
 a buffer in the logs and makes it harder to see the surrounding
 entries because the verylonglinewrap sortof visually hides the other
 line start markers and regular minimalistic entries.

 The shortest line I thought of is in the ticket OP:
 Non local <whateverport> configured, see SECURITY WARNING for that in
 docs.

 But whatever works... my control opens to a secure lan with passwd foo :)
