commit b4bd836f46549b6263c8c55eb3bc127884b72340 Author: Sebastian Hahn sebastian@torproject.org Date: Tue Oct 11 02:40:06 2011 +0200

Consider hibernation before dropping privs

Without this patch, Tor wasn't sure whether it would be hibernating or not, so it postponed opening listeners until after the privs had been dropped. This doesn't work so well for low ports. Bug was introduced in the fix for bug 2003. Fixes bug 4217, reported by Zax and katmagic. Thanks! --- src/or/config.c | 3 +++ 1 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
