[tor-commits] [tor/release-0.3.5] Do not try to shut down the event loop when it is not initialized.

commit 4d70e725d16abc2f85d54b91f50e75c37c765087

    Do not try to shut down the event loop when it is not initialized.
    
    Doing so caused us to crash in some unusual circumstances, such as
    using --verify-config to verify a configuration that failed during
    the options_act() stage.
    
    Fixes bug 32407; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha.

+      that does not start the event loop, avoid crashing if we try to exit
+      early because of an error. Fixes bug 32407; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
