Comment(by cypherpunks):

 OK....I made the changes above a few days ago (compile w/o bufferevents
 and set proper rlimit settings).   The relay appears to be running fine.
 I am also now running the 3.7 kernel.

 blueness:  OK...I didn't realize that.  If you read way above you can see
 that this relay is running in a chroot jail with a non-standard gentoo.  I
 have had no problems with the standard gentoo...but before I had compiled
 just using ./configure and it seems THAT defaults to bufferevents enabled,
 unless I was mistaken.  the --disable-bufferevents seemed to kill it.

 So as far as now, the relay seems to be working fine, so I think it is
 safe to assume that my problem was the null dereference problem found in
 the stack trace.

 thanks
