 When using the latest "stable" version, tor "wedged" and become unable to
 connect to a hidden service.  For each connection attempt, the log output
 printed "Rend stream is 120 seconds late. Giving up on address
 'xxxxxxxxx.onion'".  There was no other info in the log.  Closing a
 restarting tor fixed the problem.  I have never seen this behavior in a
 prior version.  I decided to downgrade to v0.2.8.6 because v0.2.8.7 looked
 rushed and I'm not convinced it was thoroughly tested.  IMO, tor should be
 able to solve for itself any connection problem that can be manually fixed
 by restarting tor.
