Comment:

 Thanks for providing the debug log. Reclassifying as Core Tor/Tor so a
 network team member can take a look. This is my understanding of steps to
 reproduce:
 # Download Tor Browser 8.0.8 for Linux (64 bit).
 # During initial setup, configure a Socks5 proxy (see comment:7 for a copy
 of the torrc).

 The mystery is what causes the `Could not create SOCKS args string` error
 (and why does it happen for this installation but not for all
 installations).
