     I can't believe this!  My 0.1.2.16 server just did the same thing!  And
that is after it ran fine for quite some time before trying 0.1.2.17 (this is
the first time 0.1.2.16 has acted up).  Here's the message:

Sep 05 02:09:33.960 [err] connection.c:2391: assert_connection_ok: Assertion connection_is_writing(conn) || conn->wants_to_write || (conn->type == CONN_TYPE_DIR && TO_DIR_CONN(conn)->is_blocked_on_or_conn) failed; aborting.

I really wish I knew what is going on and how to get it to stop.  I've never
looked into the tor source.  Can someone tell me what the message means?  Maybe
it will spur my recognition of some detail previously ignored as insignificant.
