Comment (by eighthave):

 I'm still seeing this crash occasionally when running the `TorService`
 test suite with multiple Tor start/stops (e.g. first running
 `testOverridingDefaultsTorrc` then `testBindService`).   I added logging
 of `hs_circuitmap_init` and `hs_circuitmap_free_all`, as well as the
 "clear between test runs" to the Android test runner:
 {{{
         // The following argument makes the Android Test Orchestrator run
 its
         // "pm clear" command after each test invocation. This command
 ensures
         // that the app's state is completely cleared between tests. This
 is required
         // since there is no way to unset
 URL.setURLStreamHandlerFactory().
         testInstrumentationRunnerArguments clearPackageData: 'true'
 }}}

 Attached is the crash log from `adb logcat`, it does not seem to show
 double calls to `hs_circuitmap_init` or `hs_circuitmap_free_all`.  I think
 we might have to consider that Android will kill Tor without warning and
 reuse the process.
