Comment (by starlight):

 bad news:

 Memory leaks in `tor` are more severe than reported at the top of this
 ticket.

 My relay became a HSDIR earlier today while also undergoing attack and the
 Tor daemon leaked memory all the way from 1.5GB total memory utilization
 to 2.4GB utilization and was killed.

 0.2.9.14 is dead (so much for LTS) and I am forced to upgrade to
 0.3.2.8-rc
