 I extracted tor-browser-gnu-linux-i686-2.3.25-2-dev-en-US.tar.gz on an
 Ubuntu 12.04 32 bit machine. I then ran start-tor-browser and tor runs as
 expected. If I click Exit on the Vidalia Control Panel the application
 shuts down as expected. I can then restart the application with start-tor-
 browser.

 On the other hand if I close the browser first and then click Exit on the
 Vidalia Control Panel I experience a message that "a security update is
 available" when I next run the application. check.torproject.org prompts
 me to download the same version which I am already running.

 This problem also occurs with the 64 bit version on CentOS 6.

 Sorry I do not know which component is at fault.
