This is a great idea, thanks.

I managed to break the implementation by stopping a freshly-started tor
before it logged any bandwidth usage. I got a bw_accounting file that
contained all zero values, and it led to a SIGFPE when trying to start
tor. There should probably be a sanity check of the expected_bw value
after reading it from the file and/or before the division in
accounting_set_wakeup_time.

ciao,
