Excessive scrubs

[Jon]

Justin,

Ok, I just checked the torrc file and my last entry was still there. I just
updated the OS and rebooted and rechecked the file and nothing has
been removed.

Will see now on the new logs if it changes or if it
still shows ' scrubbed ' . I will let you know within 24hrs either way.

Jon
