Re: peculiar 0.2.0.9-alpha behavior this a.m.

["vikingserver@xxxxxxxxx" <vikingserver@xxxxxxxxx>]

My server also had the "I learned some more directory information, but
not enough to build a circuit." problem today.

It continued for a long while, so I tried to restart Tor and it worked.

The problem with the "I learned some more directory information, but not
enough to build a circuit." message coming again and again without any
good reason has happened before. Restarting Tor generally works, but not
always the first time.

I guess I don't need to show my logs as they are just like Scott
Bennett's logs, full of "I learned some more directory information, but
not enough to build a circuit."



BTW the problem is not with Vidalia, as I don't use Vidalia anylonger
because of all the incompatibility problems between Tor alpha 0206-0209
and recent Vidalia versions.

Seems like the alpha releases recently really have been true alpha, and
not beta releases called alpha. ;-)
The problem I wrote about previously, with Vidalia and Tor "blocking"
each other at startup might also be caused by Vidalia, but since 0206 (I
believe) they have been "blocking" each other in some way resulting in
nearly 100% CPU sometimes and unresponsive programs. But that's probably
a completely different problem.
