------------------------------+-----------------
 in src/or/routerlist.c:4545-4550 `hostname` passed to tor_asprintf() can
 be NULL such as when dir_server_new() is called from
 fallback_dir_server_new()

 Found this because recent OpenBSD -current whinges about it in syslog:

     tor: vfprintf %s NULL in "directory server at %s:%d"
     last message repeated 88 times
