 Mike had a great question: 'what happens to events if there's an error?'.
 On reflection the answer is: nothing good.

 Our handle_event method parses events without any kind of error
 handling...

 https://gitweb.torproject.org/stem.git/tree/stem/control.py#n3876

 This would in turn break our event handling thread. Instead we should
 direct malformed events into a 'broken event' queue.
