Comment (by arma):

 Seems to me that the former is the more expected definition of a month.

 Is the issue on Tor's side in confparse.c where we say
 {{{
   { "month",    2629728, }, /* about 30.437 days */
 }}}
 ?

 That one actually seems tough to resolve, since I want the units on Tor's
 config options to be ... well, deterministic would be a good start, right?

 To be clear, weasel, you were setting something like {{{SigningKeyLifetime
 5 months}}} in your torrc file?
