 (https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/gk/torbutton.git/commit/?h=bug_16730&id=59ef74948aeea8d73f8833ab9e918cd1b70b6a32)
 contains my fixup and Mike's patch. Please review. The idea is basically
 to flip a pref back and forth in order to force a fetch operation which
 essentially overwrites the contents of directoryLinks.json resulting in
 the same state as a 5.04.
