My tor relay node (simba) seems to have lost its stable flag as
described in that bug report.  I didn't report anything earlier because
I wasn't sure if it was a problem at my end or not --- its my embedded
tor + uclibc in a ramdisk.

I've tried to debug what's going on but can't pin point it.  I have lots
of connections but no throughput.  The problem seems to have started
with the new bandwidth balance policy.  Info below.  This combination
worked just fine with 0.2.1.22 and previous.  Any ideas?

tor-0.2.1.25
openssl-0.9.8n
uclibc-0.9.30.1
gcc-4.4.3 + ssp + pie
