[tor-dev] Segfault trying to start tor in 0.2.4.16-rc with bufferevents

[Ian Goldberg <iang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just tried to upgrade my tor exit node to 0.2.4.16-rc, and got this:

without going through channels at src/or/connection.c:3185

Segmentation fault

The configure line was:

./configure --with-openssl-dir=../openssl-1.0.1e --enable-bufferevents

Running under gdb, I see:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

I rebuilt without bufferevents, and it hasn't crashed yet.  (I also
don't see the "Something tried to close an or_connection_t" warnings.)
