The well-known TLS renegotiating error which the tor-0.2.1.21 version was supposed to address persists on FreeBSD-8.0 updated as of today.The unstable version (0.2.2.6) same thing the error persists (On Linux and using tor-0.2.2.6 the error does not exist -I had this error only on Debian Testing and OpenSuSE)-. So,it seems to be a FreeBSD issue,more specifically after a recent FreeBSD update(when I no more could use tor).

Right. Unfortunately, it seems that FreeBSD patched openssl in such a way that it is entirely impossible for any application to enable renegotiation. See http://security.freebsd.org/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-09:15.ssl.asc for details. This means that Tor will remain completely unusable on FreeBSD with those patches built in until they either change the patch, or Tor updates it protocol. I believe that Tor will update eventually, but this might take a substantial amount of time.
