[tor-talk] Bootstrapping gets stuck at 85% - logs included.

Tor worked fine until a few days ago.  Then I began to have some problems.  Let me explain.

I use apt-get install tor and run 'tor'. The results are:

May 11 21:19:08.358 [notice] Tor v0.2.2.35 (git-73ff13ab3cc9570d). This is experimental software. Do not rely on it for strong anonymity. (Running on Linux i686)
May 11 21:19:08.362 [notice] Initialized libevent version 1.4.13-stable using method epoll. Good.
May 11 21:19:08.362 [notice] Opening Socks listener on 127.0.0.1:9050
May 11 21:19:08.364 [notice] Parsing GEOIP file /usr/share/tor/geoip.
May 11 21:19:09.196 [notice] OpenSSL OpenSSL 0.9.8k 25 Mar 2009 [9080bf] looks like it's older than 0.9.8l, but some vendors have backported 0.9.8l's renegotiation code to earlier versions, and some have backported the code from 0.9.8m or 0.9.8n.  I'll set both SSL3_FLAGS and SSL_OP just to be safe.
May 11 21:19:09.354 [notice] Bootstrapped 5%: Connecting to directory server.
May 11 21:19:09.355 [notice] I learned some more directory information, but not enough to build a circuit: We have no network-status consensus.
May 11 21:19:09.543 [notice] Bootstrapped 10%: Finishing handshake with directory server.
May 11 21:19:10.554 [warn] Problem bootstrapping. Stuck at 10%: Finishing handshake with directory server. (No route to host; NOROUTE; count 1; recommendation warn)

This always happens.  It just gets stuck.

Then I try the Tor Browser Bundle.  I am using the latest version which I downloaded yesterday. 

Here is what the Vidalia client shows when I ./start-tor-browser:

May 11 22:56:30.636 [Notice] Tor v0.2.2.35 (git-b04388f9e7546a9f). This is experimental software. Do not rely on it for strong anonymity. (Running on Linux i686)

May 11 22:56:35.928 [Notice] OpenSSL OpenSSL 1.0.1b 26 Apr 2012 looks like version 0.9.8m or later; I will try SSL_OP to enable renegotiation
May 11 22:56:35.928 [Notice] We now have enough directory information to build circuits.
May 11 22:56:35.928 [Notice] Bootstrapped 80%: Connecting to the Tor network.

May 11 22:58:50.314 [Notice] Tor now sees network activity. Restoring circuit build timeout recording. Network was down for 66 seconds during 1 circuit attempts.
May 11 22:59:56.135 [Notice] Tor has not observed any network activity for the past 67 seconds. Disabling circuit build timeout recording.
May 11 22:59:57.684 [Notice] Tor now sees network activity. Restoring circuit build timeout recording. Network was down for 68 seconds during 2 circuit attempts.
May 11 23:01:04.279 [Notice] Tor has not observed any network activity for the past 66 seconds. Disabling circuit build timeout recording.
May 11 23:01:04.587 [Notice] Tor now sees network activity. Restoring circuit build timeout recording. Network was down for 66 seconds during 1 circuit attempts.

Or I might see:

May 12 07:12:33.787 [Warning] Problem bootstrapping. Stuck at 85%: Finishing handshake with first hop. (DONE; DONE; count 10; recommendation warn)

I then use the Tor Browser Bundle with a VPN.  It works quickly and effectively.

Why does the original 'tor' get stuck at 10%.  Why does the Browser Bundle get stuck at 85%?  Why does the VPN work?

Finally, the Browser Bundle gives an error at ./start-tor-browser:

Qt: Session management error: None of the authentication protocols specified are supported

Does this matter and, if so, what can I do about it?  I am using Ubuntu 10.04.

Many thanks!
