[tor-relays] Crash and obfs error

[Geoff Down]

Hello all,
 a couple of quick questions.
Tor exited with this error:
Dec 09 06:35:34.000 [err] descriptor at 0x62ee080 begins with unexpected
string "".  Is another process running in our data directory?  Exiting.
 I've a vague feeling it's happened once before - anything to worry
 about?
Also, on restarting Tor with Obfsproxy already running, I got
Dec 09 14:14:43.000 [warn] Server managed proxy encountered a method
error. (obfs3 Could not set up listener (0.0.0.0:xx) for 'obfs3'
(Address already in use).)
Dec 09 14:14:43.000 [warn] Managed proxy at '/usr/bin/obfsproxy' failed
the configuration protocol and will be destroyed.
 does this mean that Tor is running without obfsproxy now, and I need to
 stop both and restart?
It's quite annoying that Tor doesn't remember its auto-picked port, and
I have to change the port-forwarding rule every time.
Thanks,
GD
