Would restarting BIND make Tor try to guess its IP? In that case you could have triggered the bug in 0.2.1.23/24 which gave some of us with dynamic IPs severe problems - the IP guessed was random contents of memory changing every few seconds. It's fixed in 0.2.1.25 (an 0.2.2.10 alpha I'm told). Just a thought - others know the workings better. GD Hotmail is redefining busy with tools for the New Busy. Get more from your inbox.
