Comment:

 It would be great if we could fix this in December.

 But we might want to think about how we do it - it appears that
 get_master_rsa_crosscert is for generating RSA/ED cross-certificates.

 Perhaps we can free the rsa_ed_crosscert variable in one of the functions
 that cleans up Tor memory?
 Do we expect that the rsa_ed_crosscert variable will ever change value? If
 so, it needs to be freed before it's overwritten, too.
