Hi,
I sent a SIGHUP to the tor process after altering the torrc and got this
effect:
Jan 19 00:47:42.000 [notice] Tor 0.2.9.8 opening log file.
Jan 19 00:47:55.000 [warn] Server managed proxy encountered a method
error. (obfs3 Could not set up listener (0.0.0.0:xxxxx) for 'obfs3'
(Address already in use).)
Jan 19 00:47:55.000 [warn] Managed proxy at '/usr/bin/obfsproxy' failed
the configuration protocol and will be destroyed.

It did it again when I restored the torrc and SIGHUPed again. Obfs3 is
still running and listening afaict:
tor      17356   0.0  0.2    49944   1736  ??  S    20Dec16   0:13.04
/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python....
Python  17356  tor    3u  IPv4 0x02eb32a4      0t0  TCP *:xxxxx (LISTEN)

Bug or !Bug ?
