 Noticed these warnings this morning on my client (Tor version 0.4.2.0
 -alpha-dev (git-796a9b37ea346f41)):

 {{{
 Sep 10 07:50:22.482 [warn] Bad element "$7143512F at last-listed" while
 parsing a node family.
 Sep 10 07:50:22.482 [warn] Bad element "2019-09-09" while parsing a node
 family.
 Sep 10 07:50:22.482 [warn] Bad element "12:46:57" while parsing a node
 family.
 }}}

 I'm attaching the `cached-microdescs.new` file to the ticket. See line
 15641:

 {{{
 ntor-onion-key tYqPErP1c49tLfeLe+PXR9t0USyps9C8vhxBdAFC+j4=
 family $7143512F at last-listed 2019-09-09 12:46:57
 }}}

 I would be very surprised that dirauth published this ^ so I'm guessing we
 badly wrote on disk?
