Comment (by vmon):

 arma's recommendations to solve the problem:
 This happens because windows can't actually support the networking system
 calls tor uses. if there isn't enough physical memory in the machine, it
 fails sometimes.

 The fix is "get more physical memory, or run fewer programs at once. or
 maybe get a newer windows, but we're not sure that helps." It's a crummy
 fix.

 Maybe they should run tails in a vm in their windows. that's probably at
 least as good a fix.
