o Security fixes:
- Never use a connection with a mismatched address to extend a
circuit, unless that connection is canonical. A canonical
- On platforms with a maximum syslog string length, truncate syslog
messages to that length ourselves, rather than relying on the
system to do it for us.
- - Optimize out calls to time(NULL) that occur for every IO operation, or
- for every cell. On systems where time() is a slow syscalls, this will
- be slightly helpful.

- Exit servers can now answer resolve requests for ip6.arpa addresses.
- - When we download a descriptor that we then immediately (as a directory
- authority) reject, do not retry downloading it right away. Should
- save some bandwidth on authorities. Fix for bug 888. Patch by
- Sebastian Hahn.
- - When a download gets us zero good descriptors, do not notify Tor that
- new directory information has arrived.
- - Avoid some nasty corner cases in the logic for marking connections as
- too old or obsolete or noncanonical for circuits.
