Do you also see this warning when you start Tor?
    log_warn(LD_CONFIG,
          "You have set AccountingMax to use hibernation. You have also "
          "chosen a low DirPort or OrPort. This combination can make Tor stop "
          "working when it tries to re-attach the port after a period of "
          "hibernation. Please choose a different port or turn off "
          "hibernation unless you know this combination will work on your "
          "platform.");
