Comment:

 I can reproduce this issue with the following minimal test case:
 {{{
 tor DataDirectory `mktemp -d` DirPort 12345 ORPort 0 SOCKSPort 0
 }}}

 This command works with these tor versions:
 * 0.2.5.16-dev
 * 0.2.9.15-dev

 This command fails for these tor versions:
 * 0.3.1.10-dev
 * 0.3.2.10-dev
 *
 * master

 With minor variations on:
 {{{
 Apr 18 10:08:27.000 [notice] Bootstrapped 40%: Loading authority key certs
 Apr 18 10:08:34.000 [err] tor_assertion_failed_: Bug:
 src/or/cpuworker.c:499: cpuworker_queue_work: Assertion threadpool failed;
 aborting. (on Tor 0.3.1.10-dev ce8e7427b9284ef1)
 ...
 }}}

 So I suggest:
 * now: we fix the bugs in this feature in 0.3.1 and later
 * in 0.3.4 or 0.3.5: we decide if we want to support DirPort-only and
 write tests for it, or if we want to deprecate it

 One use case for DirPort-only is a local directory mirror for large
 deployments. It can be configured using the FallbackDir torrc option, to
 take load off relays or authorities. But we could just tell people to use
 `ORPort 12345 PublishDescriptor 0` as a workaround.
