 Running my Tor relay under valgrind with all the config options that
 Yawning's sandboxed Tor Browser turns on, I see:
 {{{
 ==18287== 125 (48 direct, 77 indirect) bytes in 1 blocks are definitely
 lost in loss record 30 of 64

 }}}

 To complicate things slightly, this is the Tor from my {{{bug20423}}}
 branch, which is commit caf742287 from close to the edge of maint-0.2.9
 plus two hopefully irrelevant commits -- so I am calling the version
 0.2.9.5-alpha. :)
