Comment:

 The bug here is that we were using `authdir_mode_publishes_statuses()` to
 decide whether to initialize the SR subsystem or not. The problem is that
 that function would also return True if we are `BridgeAuthoritativeDir`
 which is something we don't want.

 Please see fix in my `bug21586` branch. It's as simple as:
 {{{
 /* Setup shared random protocol subsystem. */
 -  if (authdir_mode_publishes_statuses(get_options())) {
 +  if (authdir_mode_v3(get_options())) {
      if (sr_init(1) < 0) {
        return -1;
      }
 }}}

 Let's keep this bug for 0.3.1; it's not critical enough for 0.3.0 IMO.
