 Thanks for this patch!

 rend_service_verify_single_onion_poison() needs an explicit check for the
 directory, because rend_service_private_key_exists() requires there to be
 a directory, or tor asserts. And we want to be able to vary how we check
 for ephemeral services in future. (But you're right that we should check
 for ephemeral services.)

 So I think we can fix this by adding a check for s->directory as well as
 the ephemeral check.

 Similarly, we can't change this part of rend_config_services:
 {{{
         if (new->directory && old->directory &&
             !strcmp(old->directory, new->directory)) {
 }}}
 without adding explicit checks for the directories being valid before
 doing a strcmp on them.

 For bonus points, these extra checks should probably be BUG() checks,
 which log a bug warning. (If they ever get triggered, it's a coder's
 error.)

 A normal condition looks like:
 {{{
 if (boolean_condition) {
   action();
 }
 }}}


 A BUG condition looks like:
 {{{
 if (BUG(boolean_condition)) {
   action();
 }
 }}}

 just to get familiar with the process.

 Thanks! Minor comment changes don't get a changes file, everything else
 does.
 (I've submitted a number of code changes that were "Refactoring, no
 behaviour change", and then ended up being "unexpected bug in ticket XXXXX
 because behaviour changed during refactor".)

 One nitpick:

 the changes file format starts with
 `Minor bugfix (optional categories):`
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/tree/doc/HACKING/CodingStandards.md#n56
