[tor-relays] ARM crashes on connection tor

[Damian Johnson]

Hi Klaus. This is the first I've seen that particular error. What's
happening is that...
- arm has configured TorCtl to listen to the control port (4711)
- TorCtl then receives a message that's invalid according to the
control spec from that port and raised that error

My guess is that you gave arm the wrong port and there's something
else sending data on that port. Per chance did you confuse the
SocksPort and ControlPort? If you're sure that the port is correct
then please do the following...
- run "telnet localhost 4711
- enter "PROTOCOLINFO"

if all is well it should look something like this...
atagar at loki:~$ telnet localhost 9051
Trying ::1...
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
PROTOCOLINFO
