5) Sometimes, problem #4 never occurs: Tor simply stops generating log messages and I dissappear from the consensus (onionoo status=down). This also takes some hours. This is the state at this moment as I write this message, and looking at the log, there is nothing unusual reported (level=notice/warning) (if beneficial, I can learn how to have Tor generate a full debug log when run directly without Vidalia). Tor is still functioning as a client -- without log messages to the terminal, at least for a longstanding existing connection.

[A. R.] Interesting development just now: I went to the Tor console window that has shown no activity for many hours (andonionoo shows me down). I was about to close it and restsart Tor, but on a whim hit the ESC keep instead. Tor immediatiately came back to life, ebginning with the following message "[warn] Your system clock just jumped 64376 seconds forward; assuming established circuits no longer work." and restested it's OR port (which succeeded quickly). I guess it's working again.. will leave it for now..strange trange strange. I guess I can run it from a batch file that pipes a huge file with ESC's into it.. might keep it alive.. Thanks again if any insights; Asa
