Comment:

 Tor will advertise the DirPort when AccountingMax is enabled and the usage
 was significantly under the previous period's quota. In the case quoted
 above, I am assuming it was the first period, so the DirPort is disabled
 because there was no way of knowing whether the usage is under quota.

 So it's possible that a low DirPort will be disabled, and then re-enabled
 at the start of the second period, which would then fail unless the tor
 process has the capability to bind to low ports.

 We could clarify the final message to make this clearer.
