While we're talking about DNS issues, I recently got:

Nov 30 06:25:02.803 [notice] Tor 0.2.1.6-alpha (r17011) opening new log file.
Nov 30 06:25:02.818 [warn] eventdns: Unable to add nameserver 164.148.169.81: error 2
Nov 30 06:25:02.818 [warn] eventdns: Unable to add nameserver 34.148.169.81: error 2
Nov 30 06:25:02.818 [warn] Unable to parse '/etc/resolv.conf', or no nameservers in '/etc/resolv.conf' (6)
Nov 30 06:25:02.819 [err] set_options(): Bug: Acting on config options left us in a broken state. Dying.

The nameservers were indeed unreachable at that time
(the traffic limit was reached and the system offline),
but earlier Tor versions continued to run and started
working again once the system was back on the net.
