reload of valid but changed config causes abort
changed the DirReqStatistics value in torrc and sent a HUP to the running Tor:
Apr 20 00:50:32.776 [notice] Received reload signal (hup). Reloading config and resetting internal state. Apr 20 00:50:32.778 [warn] Failed to parse/validate config: While Tor is running, changing either CellStatistics, DirReqStatistics, EntryStatistics, or ExitPortStatistics is not allowed. Apr 20 00:50:32.778 [err] Reading config failed--see warnings above. For usage, try -h. Apr 20 00:50:32.778 [warn] Restart failed (config error?). Exiting.
behaviour seems ornery. if changing one of those Stats config vars is not allowed while running, then shouldnt it keep running with current values and refuse to continue reloading the config? if it is going to quit anyway, why not restart and load the new (valid) config?
