Comment(by eoinof):

 Actually I'll add the info on the hang here since the code has not
 yet been added to Tor.
 In stem/descriptor/__init__.py:121
 _parse_metrics_file()
 {{{
     yield
 stem.descriptor.server_descriptor.RelayDescriptor(descriptor_file.read())
 }}}
 will hang if construction of the RelayDescriptor raises an exception.. as
 happens
 with the above patch.

 This will only occur if the data is invalid.
