We were telling a child to die by closing the parent's file descriptor
to him. But newer children were inheriting the open file descriptor from
the parent, and since they weren't closing them, the socket never closed,
so the child never read eof, so he never knew to exit.
As a side effect to this bug, we were probably failing to properly close
connections to remote hosts, ORs, and OPs, after a dns child was born.
I'm surprised Tor worked at all.

ERR is if something fatal just happened
WARNING is something bad happened, but we're still running. The bad thing
is either a bug in the code, an attack or buggy protocol/implementation
of the remote peer, etc. The operator should examine the bad thing and
try to correct it.
(No error or warning messages should be expected. I expect most people
to run on -l warning eventually.)
NOTICE is never ever used.
INFO means something happened (maybe bad, maybe ok), but there's nothing
you need to (or can) do about it.
DEBUG is for everything louder than INFO.

'buf_t' is now an opaque type defined in buffers.c .
Router descriptors now include all keys; routers generate keys as
needed on startup (in a newly defined "data directory"), and generate
their own descriptors. Descriptors are now self-signed.
Implementation is not complete: descriptors are never published; and
upon receiving a descriptor, the directory doesn't do anything with
it.
At least "routers.or" and orkeygen are now obsolete, BTW.

your client exits if you're running a version not in the
directory's list of acceptable versions (unless you have a
config variable set to override).
