tor controller hangs / doesn't reply

[Sambuddho Chakravarty]

Hello All
I use the TorExample.py with slight modification to suit my purpose to 
access the tor control service. However I see it hang often and there is 
no response from the tor control service. I am not sure what could 
possibly be the problem . Its quite non-deterministic . There is no 
fixed pattern or occurrences which cause the server to stop responding. 
However the situation corresponds to no data being transferred through a 
TCP stream using the Tor circuit to which it is assigned. A 'wget' 
session which uses Tor to perform the download shows no throughput in 
the throughput indicator.


Thanks
Sambuddho
