 Played today with accounting and read in notice log :
 {{{
 Mar 19 18:49:51.000 [warn] You have set AccountingMax to use hibernation.
 You have also chosen a low DirPort or OrPort. This combination can make
 Tor stop working when it tries to re-attach the port after a period of
 hibernation. Please choose a different port or turn off hibernation unless
 you know this combination will work on your platform.

 Mar 19 18:49:51.000 [notice] Tor 0.2.6.5-rc (git-e0b77cd3194d705f) opening
 log file.
 Mar 19 18:49:51.000 [warn] Failed to unlink
 /var/lib/tor/data/bw_accounting: No such file or directory
 Mar 19 18:49:51.000 [notice] Configured hibernation. This interval begins
 at 2015-03-01 05:00:00 and ends at 2015-04-01 05:00:00. We have no prior
 estimate for bandwidth, so we will start out awake and hibernate when we
 exhaust our quota.
 Mar 19 18:49:51.000 [notice] Not advertising DirPort (Reason:
 AccountingMax enabled)
 }}}
 Beside the doubling /me wonders why tor *warns* about DirPort (or ORPort)
 - but then *noticed* that it will ignore DirPort (anyway).
