tor "wedged" and become unable to connect to a hidden service

When using the latest "stable" version, tor "wedged" and become unable to connect to a hidden service. For each connection attempt, the log output printed "Rend stream is 120 seconds late. Giving up on address 'xxxxxxxxx.onion'". There was no other info in the log. Closing a restarting tor fixed the problem. I have never seen this behavior in a prior version. I decided to downgrade to v0.2.8.6 because v0.2.8.7 looked rushed and I'm not convinced it was thoroughly tested. IMO, tor should be able to solve for itself any connection problem that can be manually fixed by restarting tor.
