 Hi Nick. For a few weeks now our [https://jenkins.torproject.org/job/stem-
 tor-ci/ jenkins tests for stem/tor integration] have been busted. Turns
 out that they caught our first tor bug, yay!

 I did a bisect and narrowed the regression to the merge on 5/28 of commit
 d3125a3...

 {{{
 2613c98 bad (6/16/13)
 7159e19 bad (6/5/13)
 4d7ac69 bad (5/29/13)
 97d1caa bad (5/28/13)
 d3125a3 just plain busted (fixed in the next commit)
 e7134c2 good (5/24/13)
 cb488f9 good (5/20/13)
 }}}

 To repro the issue kick off a tor instance then issue an invalid LOADCONF.
 Here's an example...

 {{{
 % telnet localhost 9051
 Trying 127.0.0.1...
 Connected to localhost.
 Escape character is '^]'.
 AUTHENTICATE
 250 OK
 +LOADCONF
 ContactInfo confloaded
 .
 Connection closed by foreign host.
 }}}

 Tor will fail with...

 {{{
 Jun 23 13:03:25.000 [err] config_is_same(): Bug: src/or/confparse.c:983:
 config_is_same: Assertion fmt && o2 failed; aborting.
 src/or/confparse.c:983 config_is_same: Assertion fmt && o2 failed;
 aborting.
 }}}

 Cheers! -Damian
