quick and dirty feedback; 6 relays running well 0.3.0.0-alpha-dev
(>=git-d1bcba19a9790a37) for quite a while (3 in dual stack). 4freebsd
and 2netbsd machines. 5static binary, 1shared (freebsd 10.3-R-p7,
i386).

every single relay that now is running -dev was running 0.2.9.4-alpha
since its release date (or one/two days after it was available on your
distfiles/archives ftp). I was following the releases available on the
ftp, not ports/pkg/pkgsrc/pkgin/... *EXCEPT* for one machine that runs
freebsd10.3r-p7 (i386); it was working good with 0.2.9.2-alpha only
(again, with shared libs).

sorry for not providing proper feedback or patch on Tor's trac. I plan
to do that ASAP.

PS: http://lists.nycbug.org/pipermail/tor-bsd/2016-October/000467.html
might be interesting for those running Tor (security/tor-devel) with
FreeBSD. ty.
