Comment:

 Hi cypherpunks, arm is crashing when it tried to read your log file from
 disk. For some reason it contains "'2012 \x00\x00\x00\x00..." where there
 should be a date. Any idea how it got into this state?

 Stopping tor, moving the log out of the way, then restarting tor should
 address this problem. I'll be sure to include a better error message for
 the next arm release since we shouldn't stacktrace due to an outside
 resource like the log.
