Comment:

 Reopening, because as discussed on IRC, this doesn't have to be a crash.
 Failure to generate a descriptor isn't a fatal condition in current Tor,
 we just relatively silently don't upload a descriptor for that time. I
 think I'll also add some better logging for the errors cases so we notice
 if they happen.
