Also I see I should make a copy of the
cached-* files and the state file in
case some anomaly is present the Tor
routing data.

I did look at Vidalia'a network map
at the time of the incident and the
list of relays on the left side looked
ok.  On the right side something like

   <path>
   <path>
   etc

appeared where client connections
normally are listed.
