Comment (by atagar):

 > ... but the fact that Stem needs to parse log messages in the first
 place seems like the real bug here. What exactly is it doing with them

 Stem is using them to figure out when tor has bootstrapped enough to reach
 a usable state. It's also used so we can raise an exception if it fails
 before that.

 > ... and can we think of a better technique?

 Suggestions welcome. Personally I'm not a fan of closing file descriptor
 N. Having the python process consume the rest of stdout (even if it's with
 a null reader by default) is preferable since it's both less hacky and
 users might want it. The only trick is doing this without requiring a
 daemon thread.
