 #19408 purports to show tor log lines. The date format in them is really
 strange:
 {{{
 6/13/2016 23:53:24 PM.700
 6/13/2016 23:53:26 PM.200
 6/14/2016 0:07:45 AM.200
 6/14/2016 0:07:45 AM.200
 }}}
 There's a date string followed by a dot and three digits' worth of
 fractional seconds. The format doesn't match what's specified in
 `log_prefix_`, which is `"%b %d %H:%M:%S"`.

 I don't see how this can happen, but I thought some one in core tor might
 want to take a look. Maybe the user has some kind of smart copy-paste
 that's mangling dates.
