Comment(by sysrqb):

 Forgot to mention that the cached-microdescs.new file Tor's using has
 duplicate entries. Should there be duplicate entries?

 And thinking about this a little more

 So this is from earlier today, silly me. Interestingly, but not
 surprisingly, I renamed this cached file and downloaded a new one and it
 does not have malformed entries. It does still have a few dupes, this may
 be tangential to this bug, though.
