Comment:
Please have a look at my branch `bug25686_diagnostic_032`, with PR at
https://github.com/torproject/tor/pull/142 .
There are four possible reasons for a Tor reason to upload without X-Desc-
Gen-Reason:
1. They are running an old version of our software, before
0.3.2.stable.
2. They are not running our software, but they are claiming they
are.
3. They are uploading through a proxy that strips X-Desc-Gen-Reason.
4. They somehow had a bug in their software.
I think that everybody who has this problem IRL is in condition 1, 2, or
3. This patch is an attempt to make it so 4 is very very obvious, so we
can diagnose it easily. It's potentially backportable as far as 0.3.2.
