 1)  I upgraded from 0.2.2.32-0.2.14 to 0.2.2.33-0.2.14.

 2)  I tried configuring my Tor relay as a pure "middle relay," but the
 interface would not accept it; it would keep switching back to "client
 only."

 3)  I enabled (very briefly) one of the exit policies, the web browsing;
 after that, the interface accepted the configuration as a relay.

 4)  I quickly unchecked the web browsing box; the interface still accepted
 the configuration as a relay.

 5)  The relay is functioning fine.
