 This is only tested on Windows Vista with Service Pack 1 and all updates
 except Windows Search 4.0

 Tor 0.2.0.30 stable version was released officially a few days ago, but
 upon upgrading or uninstalling/reinstalling, the following messages always
 showed up 100% of the time.

 Aug 03 19:44:21.798 [Notice] Tor v0.2.0.30 (r15956). This is experimental
 software. Do not rely on it for strong anonymity. (Running on Windows
 "Longhorn" Service Pack 1 [workstation] {terminal services, single user})
 Aug 03 19:44:21.936 [Error] Error from libevent: evsignal_init:
 socketpair: No error

 First of all this should not be experimental software since it is a stable
 release, and how come I am unable to start Tor especially when the "error"
 is actually "No error"?
