+ o Major bugfixes (directory authorties):
+ - When computing weight parameters, behave more robustly in the
+ presence of a bad bwweightscale value. Previously, the
+ authorities would crash if they agreed on a sufficiently browken
+ weight_scale value: now, they use a reasonable default and carry
+ on. Partial fix for 5786; bugfix on 0.2.2.17-alpha.
