 Since downloading and using the latest version of TBB, I have watched Tor
 unmask itself without notification, or justification on at least two
 separate occasions.  I was able to determine this because I initially and
 at random times hit the home page button which takes me back to your IP
 check page and it said I was not configured to use TOR and my IP address
 was revealed.  I thought it was an isolated issue, nonetheless, I have
 been frequently checking the home page for IP verification since that time
 and it happened again a few days later.
 Each time it said that I was not using TOR in the middle of a Tor session,
 when it initially said CONGRATULATIONS YOUR BROWSER IS CONFIGURED TO USE
 TOR.  Internet didnt get disconnected and Tor message log did not indicate
 any problems.  At this point I may go back to the previous version of TOR
 just to be safe.  It would appear this version is either bugged or some
 other issue exist.
 PLEASE FIX
