Comment (by atagar):

 Hi wagon. This is odd, I'm having difficulty reproducing that stacktrace.
 Non-ascii content appears on the contact lines but this is normal and stem
 accounts for this...

 {{{

 }}}

 I tried parsing this through stem and printing the output with both python
 2.7 and 3.5 but couldn't repro that stacktrace. Are you using the copy of
 stem from git? If not then please give that a whirl.

 There are no privacy issues with this file. It's just cached descriptor
 content. Everyone receives the same and each hours descriptors are
 publicly available on CollecTor.
