#2077: Tor crashes in Vidalia 0.2.2.17a-0.2.10
-------------------+--------------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  joebt  |        Type:  defect    
   Status:  new    |    Priority:  normal    
Milestone:         |   Component:  Tor Client
  Version:         |    Keywords:  Tor,      
   Parent:         |  
-------------------+--------------------------------------------------------
 Using Firefox 3.6.10, Vista x64 hm prem, SP2.

 Crashes w/ older Tor versions were rare for me.  Since installing alpha
 ver listed, several crashes in 2 days.  Doing nothing diff (except later
 ver of Firefox).  No warning / signs of things going bad before get crash
 notice (Tor has stopped working).

 These seem to be main warnings from log:

 Vidala log errors:

 Oct 15 12:59:21.741 [Warning] Error replacing "C:\Users\<user
 name>\AppData\Roaming\tor\state": File exists
 Oct 15 12:59:21.743 [Warning] Unable to write state to file
 "C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\tor\state"


 Note:  the user\AppData path is not protected - the acct I was running in
 Vista at time of Tor crash has full access to the paths \ files mentioned
 above.
 The file:  state.tmp DOES exist in the location mentioned.
 I can open / read -  state.tmp - (after Tor crash & Tor is shut down).
 Has no obvious errors msgs in the file.

 There's another file:  "lock" (w/ 0 bytes) in same folder as  state.tmp
 (after crash & Tor / Vidalia are shut down).
 Properties of the  "lock" file show was created yesterday 10/14, & last
 mod 10/15.  Its file attribs are "AN" - archived, not indexed?  Other than
 that, no real info on it.


 Err Rpt from Windows Vista x64 prepared to send to MS:
