 When I parse server descriptors in a metrics tarball and in extracted form
 using DescriptorReader, I get different numbers of descriptors:

 {{{
 from stem.descriptor.reader import DescriptorReader

 descriptors = 0
 with DescriptorReader('server-descriptors-2012-12.tar') as reader:
     for descriptor in reader:
         descriptors += 1
 print "%d descriptors in tarball." % (descriptors, )
 descriptors = 0
 with DescriptorReader('server-descriptors-2012-12/') as reader:
     for descriptor in reader:
         descriptors += 1
 print "%d descriptors in extracted directory." % (descriptors, )
 }}}

 250048 descriptors in tarball.
 279042 descriptors in extracted directory.

 What happens to the rest?

 This bug means that most of #7828 must be re-run. :(
