 I accidentally put "MinUptimeHidServDirectoryV2 96 hours" into my
 consensus params instead of making it its own line in the torrc. Tor had
 no problem with this during startup, but then tried to create a vote that
 had a params line starting with a 96, which it then choked on during
 parsing. The right fix is probably along the lines of stricter
 ConsensusParams validation i think.
