 "Orbot is starting..."

 seems to hang forever at one of two parts (haven't timed it...but at least
 5 minutes).  In the logs:

 org.torproject.android/app_data --defaults-torrc
 /data/data/org.torproject.android/app_bin/torrc -f
 /data/data/org.torproject.android/app_bin/torrc.custom --verify-config;

 /data/data/org.torproject.android/app_bin/torrc.custom; SUCCESS=false
 Tor was unable to start: Error: 1 ERR= OUT=Sep 30 21:26:18.117 [notice]
