Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Collecting puzzle.

 #18580
 > I'm 80-90% sure it's a bug in the way the Tor daemon interacts with
 unbound's behavior w/r/t large numbers of timing-out DNS queries. Unbound
 appears to be perfectly fine with the situation when it occurs. Tor daemon
 DNS queries lock-up wholesale, thus preventing normal exit browsing
 behaivor.
 as result #21394
 `unbound`
 OOM in final
