Hi! 

I am running a middle-man relay on a Raspberry Pi averaging 700 kBps. The board 
is very limited in processing power and memory. After some days, maybe a week, 
the Tor daemon runs out of memory and I have to start it manually again. I have 
tried different Tor versions, built alphas with and without the 
--enable-openbsd-malloc but it's no measurable difference; eventually a bad 
malloc will terminate the program. 

To solve this I have added a cron job to restart the daemon on a daily basis. 
Is this an OK solution? Traffic-wise it takes around 30 minutes to get back to 
normal throughput but the alternative is long downtimes until I notice the 
crash. Will there be any problem with the directory interaction? 

Relay info:
Fast Guard Named Running Stable V2Dir Valid
Tor 0.2.4.11-alpha

Kind Regards, 
peckman
