"DisableOOSCheck 0", but watch out: it might close some sockets

- o Major features (security fixes):
- - Prevent a class of security bugs caused by treating the contents
- of a buffer chunk as if they were a NUL-terminated string. At
- least one such bug seems to be present in all currently used
- versions of Tor, and would allow an attacker to remotely crash
- most Tor instances, especially those compiled with extra compiler
- hardening. With this defense in place, such bugs can't crash Tor,
- though we should still fix them as they occur. Closes ticket
- 20384 (TROVE-2016-10-001).

o Major features (single-hop "hidden" services):

epistemic attacks. Fixes bug 19163; bugfix on 0.2.4.18-rc.
- o Major bugfixes (client performance):
- - Clients now respond to new application stream requests immediately
- when they arrive, rather than waiting up to one second before
- starting to handle them. Fixes part of bug 19969; bugfix
- on 0.2.8.1-alpha.

- o Major bugfixes (client reliability):
- - When Tor leaves standby because of a new application request, open
- circuits as needed to serve that request. Previously, we would
- potentially wait a very long time. Fixes part of bug 19969; bugfix
- on 0.2.8.1-alpha.

- o Major bugfixes (client, security, also in 0.2.8.7):
- - Only use the ReachableAddresses option to restrict the first hop
- in a path. In earlier versions of 0.2.8.x, it would apply to
- every hop in the path, with a possible degradation in anonymity
- for anyone using an uncommon ReachableAddress setting. Fixes bug

- o Major bugfixes (crash, also in 0.2.8.8):
- - Fix a complicated crash bug that could affect Tor clients
- configured to use bridges when replacing a networkstatus consensus
- in which one of their bridges was mentioned. OpenBSD users saw
- more crashes here, but all platforms were potentially affected.
