 answered that in GDB only as he suggests there  is a "deadlock after
 calling tor_cleanup".

 Aha, okay.

 I am not sure whether it's only you but on Linux at least I don't think we
 hear this problem very often. What you could do to get more logging
 information is to make the log on the Tor side more detailed by adding a
 `Log notice file your_file_name` line into your `torrc` file (in
 Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Tor)

 What are the requirements for you to reproduce that error reliably? Just
 starting a default Tor Browser and then leaving it open for half an hour
 and then closing it again?
