Well several reports suggests that it's probably *not* hardware
related. It could be a race condition deep in OS X which gets tickled
after enough load (which Tor would provide).

So, other than making sure you have all the latest patches from Apple,
there's probably not a lot to be done I'm afraid. I guess we keep an
eye out for similar reports from other people and try to find the
intersection.
