Comment (by sniper976):

 I am using TBB, but as an exit relay (with all exit policies checked). I
 do not get that error message on the rare occasion that I run it as
 client-only (although that could be because I haven't been running it for
 long enough), as client-only browsing is done on my Windows machine.

 No firewall, no AV software. As I said before, I have no problems with
 anything from the 2.3 branch. It's just 2.4 that I'm having this problem
 with.

 I'm unable to build Tor from source.

 and checking that SOCKET_OK is true on that socket.

 any firewall or AV software running, or anything that would affect the
 network code?

 problem when you use a copy you built from source?
