Do you get cores? Do you get assert failures? Please spend a few moments
to provide a bug report if you have any hints.

Also, please please please put a sleep(100) in your script somewhere.
We had a bug a while ago where people would start their Tor, it would
suck down a directory, kill itself, restart, suck down another directory,
repeat. This was not good for our volunteer's bandwidth. :)

Is your instability based on the fact that a 3.5MB data segment is
incredibly too small to run a Tor server? You want another one or two
orders of magnitude more than this.
