 > It seems that Tor doesn't like Valgrind's memory profiler:

 Your paste here looks ok. So maybe it doesn't work, but your output
 doesn't indicate that. :)

 > {{{Tor[22094]: connection_dir_finished_flushing(): Bug: Emptied a
 dirserv buffer, but it's still spooling! (on Tor 0.3.4.8

 Looks like #26896 maybe.

 > {{{Tor[22094]: Failing because we have 991 connections already. Please
 read doc/TUNING for guidance.}}}

 This part is important, and you need to raise your ulimit -n or Tor won't
 do well as a relay.
