Comment (by arma):

 I'm ok doing this when SafeLogging is 0 if we think it'll be useful.

 That way if some user is experiencing a problem where Tor complains that
 the hsdesc is malformed, and it's repeatable, we can tell the user to turn
 off SafeLogging and then tell us what it says.

 Maybe it will be simpler in this rare case just to log it into the logs
 though? (Can Tor's log system handle a 50KB log line? :)
