New description:
When Tor dies due to a config error, orbot tries to start it repeatedly.
It doesn't
realize that Tor will never start, and it'll just spam the log with
"starting Tor. waiting"
messages.
This loop is not interrupted by clicking the symbol again, even though the
symbol
goes grey. Orbot keeps trying to start Tor and spamming the log.
The only way to get out of this mess seems to be force-stopping the orbot
application or killing the service.

Comment(by ioerror):
It seems reasonable to check the return code from Tor or simply that Tor
has returned right away.
