Comment (by starlight):

 The August 7 `geoip` file found at

 https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/tree/src/config?id=b98e3f993617fb6cb2e5f41bfa49c16a21965a4c
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/plain/src/config/geoip?id=b98e3f993617fb6cb2e5f41bfa49c16a21965a4c

 and in prior alpha 2 TBB actually contains

 {{{
 720437248,720502783,AU
 720502784,721420287,CN
 721420288,737479679,JP ###
 737479680,737480703,IN
 737480704,737490943,JP
 }}}

 So at the time it was generated, either the MaxMind DB
 had an incorrect entry or the conversion script
 improperly conflated the gap.  At the time, the
 RIR DB was correct (per the original bug report
 above).  I'm not saying that the RIR info should
 be used, it's just an obvious cross-reference point
 and how I discovered the problem.

 I assume the sequence next above was freshly
 generated from a MaxMind's historical point-in-time
 snapshot, and so cannot be considered definitive.
