 Replying to [comment:1 nickm]:

 Correct. Tor 0.2.4.21 does not suffer from this bug.

 However in 0.2.4.22 scanelf reports:
 scanelf -qtmyR /usr/bin/
 TEXTREL  /usr/bin/tor
 TEXTREL  /usr/bin/tor-gencert
 TEXTREL  /usr/bin/tor-resolve


 > If so, can you confirm that this Tor was built with all the same
 libraries and options as the last version of Tor?

 It should be the same as this package as both are currently in the main
 repository of Arch Linux. I will open a bug there as well to figure out
 how this happened/if they made any changes...
