Huh, that's weird. You're right, it's complaining that the connection 
hint is malformed. "tub.location" is supposed to be a comma-separated 
list of HOST:PORT pairs, where HOST is specifically allowed to be either 
a DNS name or an ipv4 address.

That seems ok to me. The error suggests that it thought 
tub.location="5.39.92.231" instead of tub.location="5.39.92.231:56777". 
Is it possible that you hadn't yet saved tahoe.cfg when you restarted 
the node? You might also double-check that there is only one copy of 
tub.location in your config file (maybe it's getting overridden by a 
stray duplicate).

"tahoe --version" reports tahoe-1.9.2 and foolscap-0.6.4, right? I tried 
a similar tub.location on my system (but running tahoe trunk instead of 
1.9.2) and didn't get an error. If we can rule out a tahoe.cfg problem, 
I'll get a 1.9.2 checkout from darcs and try to reproduce it again.
