 Priority:  major     |   Milestone:

----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
 Torouter breaks with 64MB flash memory because of large cached-
 descriptors[.new] files.  Jake reports that he tried to start a bridge
 with these files being 12M and 9M large, which made his box die badly.

 The question is whether we can throw out cached descriptors more quickly
 on a bridge.  Which leads to the question whether bridge clients request
 descriptors from us, or if they only establish a directory connection to a
 directory mirror via us.
