------------------------------+--------------------------------
 In dirserv_compute_performance_thresholds, we allocate arrays based on the
 length of 'routers', a list of routerinfo_t, but loop over the nodelist.
 The 'routers' list may be shorter when relays were filtered by
 routers_make_ed_keys_unique, leading to an out-of-bounds write.

 This bug was originally introduced in 26e89742, but it doesn't look
 possible to trigger until routers_make_ed_keys_unique was introduced in
 13a31e72.

 This needs a backport to 0.2.7, but wasn't in a released version. Fix on
 0.2.8.2-alpha.
