 in his log each day. That should happen at most once ever -- and maybe
 even never? I think Sebastian does not care that we are wrapping
 getpwnam() so something about a sandbox?

 Similarly, the four-times-daily heartbeat has grown to
 {{{

 Yawning, Sebastian, and I think we can get rid of the middle two lines for

 What other spammy log lines are people seeing in their client or their
 relay or their hidden service that would distract or spook them if they
 were a normal user?
