Comment (by arma):

 Ok, we have an osx el capitan person in #tor right now who is getting this
 problem and we have failed to provide useful suggestions because we have
 no idea what might be going wrong on his system.

 And now we have a windows 10 person there too who has the same problem.

 I think we need to prioritize some testing on normal user systems, so we
 can find out what is going wrong for them and fix it.
