 We currently do:

 {{{
   } else if (!strcmpstart(line, PROTO_SMETHOD_ERROR)) {
     if (mp->conf_state != PT_PROTO_ACCEPTING_METHODS)
       goto err;

     parse_server_method_error(line);
     goto err;
 }}}

 which means that we destroy managed proxies that were supposed to spawn
 multiple transports but failed to launch one of them.

 I think we should log a warning, but keep the managed proxy around. Some
 transports are better than no transports; and the warning message should
 hopefully prompt the user into fixing the issue.
