-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 This is a bug report for 0.2.2.22-orbot-alpha-1.0.5.20110417a-dev, running
 on CM6.1.0-RC2 (Desire HD).

 It seems like ORBot fails to unzip the tor binary to the data directory,
 as it is too large to fit in the dedicated memory for that operation
 (...or so Google tells me).

 Additionally (not sure if that should be a second bug), ORBot still
 declares the operation successful, even though it is caught by the
 exception handler. This, of course, leads to ORBot trying (and failing) to
 start afterwards, constantly receiving -1 as the pid (if you want to
 detect unrecoverable situations, that _might_ be one approach - keep in
 mind that I haven't read the corresponding code, maybe ORBot is already
 doing that).

 Logcat (useless messages redacted):
 ---------------
 I/ActivityManager( 1487): Starting activity: Intent {

 Should I try running it on CM7 instead?
