Comment (by micah):

 I've started getting this now on longclaw. It appears that I'm not
 submitting bwauth data because of this. Its slightly different error, but
 looks like the exact same part of the code:

 {{{
 ERROR[Sat Jan 24 21:45:02 2015]:Exception during aggregate: could not
 convert string to float:
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/home/bwscanner/torflow/NetworkScanners/BwAuthority/aggregate.py",
 line 876, in <module>
     main(sys.argv)
   File "/home/bwscanner/torflow/NetworkScanners/BwAuthority/aggregate.py",
 line 424, in main
     timestamp = float(fp.readline())
 ValueError: could not convert string to float:
 }}}

 I can't tell which scanner, or file it is operating, as there are four
 scanners and hundreds of files. Perhaps it would be useful to add some
 debug information when this happens to try and narrow it down?
