-------------------------+------------------------------------
 I'm running tor on Gentoo Hardened.
 The bug exists in 0.2.6.7 and 0.2.7.1-alpha.
 tor crashes within seconds of starting, before any clients can connect I
 think.

 This bug has been reported downstream:
 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=550302.
 It occurs with the following torrc:
 {{{
 #
 # Minimal torrc so tor will work out of the box
 #
 User tor
 PIDFile /var/run/tor/tor.pid
 Log notice syslog
 Log notice file /var/log/tor/log
 DataDirectory /var/lib/tor/data
 SandBox 1

 SocksPort 9050
 SocksPort 9056 IsolateDestAddr IsolateDestPort
 SocksPort 9055

 ControlPort 9015
 CookieAuthentication 1
 }}}

 By commenting out "Sandbox 1" or unsetting it, tor will obviously run
 without crashing.
