the latest patches and whatnot. I am unsure what--if any--other
information would be relevant to this problem.
I have been having this problem for the last few release candidate
versions (probably since 0.1.0.3). While running
Tor/Tor-in-Server-Mode the program will, at times, just spontaneously
close. Sometimes I will be browsing the Internet through Tor;
sometimes it'll just be running in the background; sometimes I won't
even be at the computer. It gives no indication that there is a
problem; it just shuts down. It can do this anywhere from a few
minutes to a few hours after starting the program. I've tried studying
the debug logs to see some kind of 'common pattern' among the
shutdowns, but have been unable to find one. The only common
occurrence is the line:
[err] do_main_loop(): libevent poll with win32 failed: No such file or directory [2]
Searching the Internet/forums for this problem was not able to yield
any results/fixes. Considering that it hasn't been reported by anyone
else, I would assume this might be a problem with my local setup. But,
I thought I would submit it and see if there is any possible reason
for this or if I had a genuine bug in the program.
I'd be glad to provide any information that anyone may need. Feel free
to ask. And, thanks for any guidance you can provide in attempting to
solve the problem.
