Comment(by rransom):

 This is probably also related to #2954 and a bunch of other tickets over
 the years about Tor failing to write `cached-*` properly, then complaining
 later when it can't read the junk that it wrote.

 Switch to storing each directory document (e.g. descriptor or
 microdescriptor) in its own file (the DJB-style option), or switch to
 SQLite (the Windows/Sendmail/Firefox/Tor-style option).  You're never
 going to fix Tor's file-writing code.
