 Running TorBrowser on macOS with meek PT fails after long uptime.

 Scenarios:

 1) Run machine for a day or more, then try to open torbrowser and connect,
 and it fails.

 2) Boot machine, use torbrowser successfully for a period, quit and then
 leave machine running for an extended period (a day at least) and then try
 to reopen torbrowser and connect -> fails to connect.

 Interestingly, and for unknown reasons, adding the log options to meek-
 client and meek-client-torbrowser in torrc avoids this bug. Any thoughts?
