Re: Problems with irc because of tor?
I am running Mandriva linux 2009.0. I have been using tork (as a tor manager)
and tor for several years with a bunch of problems only occurring since going
to 2009.0 AND upgrading to tor 0.2.1.7-alpha. Before this, I ran tor and tork
AND access IRC (via Konversation in KDE) without problems.
I've checked processes when tor appears to die and it really is dead. I check
the debug log and there is literally nothing there to indicate any problems
whatsoever, just a message that tor died:

I have now uninstalled (again) tor-0.2.1.7-alpha and installed the 2009.0
package for tor instead, tor-0.2.0.31, and it is (and has been) working
without hitch since I started it. There appears to be something about 0.2.1.7
specifically that causes problems. Prior to upgrading to it I was running
tor-0.2.1.6, also without problem.
