Comment (by mcs):

 The first error you encountered (ensure_copy_recursive: path is not a
 directory) is probably caused by leaking of file descriptors.  "err: 24"
 is EMFILE.  Looking at the code, we found that closedir() is not being
 called during a recursive copy inside the updater.  We filed a Mozilla
 bug:
   https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1159826

 We will do a test where we enable browsing history in TB 4.5a5 and modify
 start-tor-browser to force a full update.
