Comment (by asn):

 {{{
     log_notice(LD_GENERAL, "Managed proxy '%s' is giving some output over
 "
                "the standard error stream (stderr). This usually means
 that "
                "it has encountered some error that I won't be able to "
                "understand. You should enable INFO-level tor log to see
 what "
                "it is saying - when INFO-level log is enabled, look for "
                "lines with 'report_proxy_stderr' (without quotes).",
                mp->argv[0]);
 }}}

 Hm, does this mean that the info-level logs will have the string
 `report_proxy_stderr` in them? Is this the case in the current code?

 Also, do you think we should mention '''how''' to enable info-level logs
 in the log message? So that we avoid mails in tor-relays saying "I got
 this warning. How do I enable info-level logs?". But maybe that will make
 the log message too big/confusing.
