 > But another issue is that "auto" and "nolisten" don't make a lot of
 sense together.  "Auto" is "pick a port for me"; "nolisten" is "don't
 actually listen on this address, I'll set it up in a firewall rule or
 something".

 No, the NoListen is just here so you can reproduce the bug. The bug exists
 when you say :auto on your IPv6 ORPort -- the log tells you what port it
 picked, and it listens on that port, and then it puts the wrong number in
 your descriptor.
