this is confusing, and might provoke some "OMG I AM A CLIENT WHAT KIND OF STATS ARE YOU COLLECTING" arguments (two people on #tor asked about this and one on the blog, now I know how they learned about stats stuff).

probably a patch like this:

diff --git a/src/or/config.c b/src/or/config.c
index ca4e71c..01d4036 100644
--- a/src/or/config.c
+++ b/src/or/config.c
@@ -1410,8 +1410,9 @@ options_act(or_options_t *old_options)
     tor_free(actual_fname);
   }
 
-  if (options->CellStatistics || options->DirReqStatistics ||
-      options->EntryStatistics || options->ExitPortStatistics) {
+  if (server_mode(options) &&
+      (options->CellStatistics || options->DirReqStatistics ||
+       options->EntryStatistics || options->ExitPortStatistics)) {
     time_t now = time(NULL);
     int print_notice = 0;
     if ((!old_options || !old_options->CellStatistics) &&

or something would fix it, but I need to look closer at it.
