 Hello devs,

 While running tor onion service v3 with client auth disabled, if a new
 client .auth file is put under the authorized_clients subdir and a SIGHUP
 is sent to tor, the main process crashes after a bad assertion.

 If the process is restarted, there is no problem setting up the descriptor
 cookie.

 I've coded a dirty patch that solves this problem:

 On tor 0.3.5.2-alpha/src/feature/hs/hs_service.c
 {{{
 1764a1765,1771
 >     /* Test that descriptor_cookie is not zero because we will use it
 >      * bellow */
 >     if (tor_mem_is_zero((char*)desc->descriptor_cookie,
 >                                   HS_DESC_DESCRIPTOR_COOKIE_LEN)) {
 >               crypto_strongest_rand(desc->descriptor_cookie,
 >                               sizeof(desc->descriptor_cookie));
 >     }
 }}}

 I don't know if this is the best course of action or if it would be wiser
 to check it elsewhere.

 TODO: elaborate a unit test.
