 ([https://github.com/wfn/tor/blob/bug_9957/src/or/transports.c#L591-L698
 ~100 lines]), but I see what you mean - it's doing multiple things, so to
 say. There's some global state involved (e.g. we need to free
 `proxy_err_output` at a particular point dependent on the status of the
 stdout stream), so it might not be as clean as you'd like - but see
 attached patch.

 Will probably attach another patch once I get the chance to compile tor
 again (afk/computer now.) Sorry for verbosity!

 Moved everything to do with stderr logging to a separate function, tested
 out with failing and non-failing obfsproxy config, and squashed several
 minor commits onto a separate branch -
