 Since yesterday 16:05 UTC, metrics-db is complaining about or-address
 lines in bridge server descriptors that it cannot parse and sanitize.
 Here are two server descriptors it doesn't like with [scrubbed] parts put
 in by me:

 {{{
 router Unnamed [scrubbed] 9001 0 0
 or-address [::]:9001
 platform Tor 0.2.3.12-alpha (git-5c7b9174848cc05b) on Linux i686
 opt protocols Link 1 2 Circuit 1
 published 2012-02-15 21:08:13
 ...
 }}}

 {{{
 router Unnamed [scrubbed] 443 0 0
 or-address [::]:9090
 platform Tor 0.2.3.12-alpha (git-5c7b9174848cc05b) on Linux x86_64
 opt protocols Link 1 2 Circuit 1
 published 2012-02-16 03:37:30
 ...
 }}}

 The `[::]` address part probably comes from some misconfiguration on the
 bridge.  But the bridge shouldn't include this address in its server
 descriptor.

 I'm cc'ing murble who is running these bridges.  (Maybe don't fix the
 configuration yet, so that we can figure out how to fix Tor.)
