 When I copy some older private_key files I generated with Shallot time ago
 to a new tor process, then give it a kill -1, it parses the private_key
 and produces a different hostname to match it. It's odd because the
 private key is the one that should have the nice name, instead it now gets
 an ugly new one. Any guess on what I could have done wrong? Apparently
 nobody else ran into this problem...
