#2195: Handle the case when we can't generate descriptors
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------

     Type:  defect     |      Status:  new                
 Priority:  normal     |   Milestone:  Tor: 0.2.3.x-final 
Component:  Tor Relay  |     Version:  Tor: 0.2.2.17-alpha
 Keywords:             |      Parent:                     
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
 Relays that fail to generate a server descriptor or extra-info descriptor
 also fail to generate a server descriptor. They just print out a warning
 and retry a couple of milliseconds later.

 rransom wrote a patch in his mitigate2183 branch that at least generates a
 server descriptor in case we cannot generate an extra-info descriptor.

 Sebastian mentioned that failing may also be an option if we can't
 generate an extra-info descriptor, or we'll never learn about this bug.

 We should decide what the best behavior in this case is and write a patch.
