     I tried it from ports, so it's not the aborted version in the FreeBSD
base system.  I first posted about the problem on tor-relays earlier this
month.

Ended up using portdowngrade to get back to 0.9.8n, which works just fine.

     No, the version in the FreeBSD base system is a crippled 0.9.8e, IIRC.

     Someone (perhaps Nick or Andrew--I don't remember who) posted a note
before that to the effect that a 1.0.0-beta seemed to work with tor and
was faster, to boot, which I was looking forward to.  I didn't try the beta
version, though, so I have no direct experience with it myself.  The released
version definitely does not work with tor.
