[tor-relays] Arm phantom keystroke issue.

[Damian Johnson]

Hi Matt, sorry this is nailing you. I've seen it as well and have been
pretty puzzled by it. The issue first started manifesting in the late
1.4.x series making me suspect it's related to the interpreter panel
but I never found out exactly what was up. Unfortunately the bug can
take days to manifest, making it tough to reproduce.

As you may have noticed arm hasn't had a release since 2012. This last
year I've focused on fixing that. Nyx is the new version of arm,
rebuilt from the ground up under the hood...

No doubt it'll initially have lots of warts of its own, but between
Stem and test coverage should grow to be much more stable in the long
run. I don't have a release date for you yet but I'll let this list
know when I'm ready for beta testers.

Cheers! -Damian (nyx's author)
