Comment:
Kathy and I tested this with TB 4.5 / Tor 0.2.6.x and did not see the
problem that we observed with Tor 0.2.4.x (where bootstrapping failed to
restart after DisableNetwork was set back to 0). We did notice two
smaller problems:
a) Sometimes there is a delay (approximately 1 minute) before network
activity continues.
b) Depending on when you click "Open Settings" to stop the bootstrap, you
may see a spurious error like:
Tor failed to establish a Tor network connection.
Loading network status failed (no route to host - xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).
With those caveats, it does seem like a nice improvement to interrupt the
bootstrap process when the user clicks Open Settings or Cancel. Here is a
revised patch:

Please review.
