Comment(by nickm):

 Hm.  One possibility that might make debugging easier is that some of
 these bugs might also appear on non-windows.  IOW, there are three changes
 to make on stock Tor to get the final thing we want to have working:

 * enable bufferevents (build Tor using Libevent 2.0.13-stable with the
 --enable-bufferevents configure option)

 * Enable _filtering_ SSL bufferevents (you can do this manually with
 "_UseFilteringSSLBuffevents 1".

 * Run on windows.

 * Enable IOCP (This happens with bufferevents on Windows when DisableIOCP
 0 is set).

 So one way to help track this down would be to run on windows and turn
 stuff off till we find what works.  In other words:

 * Does stuff work okay on a unix platform with bufferevents enabled?

 * Does stuff work okay on a unix platform with bufferevents enabled, and
 _UseFilteringSSLBufferevents 1 ?

 * Does stuff work okay on windows with bufferevents enabled and
 _UseFilteringSSLBufferevents 0, DisableIOCP 1?  (What I think you've got
 now).

 * Does stuff work okay on windows with bufferevents disabled and
 _UseFilteringSSLBufferevents 1, DisableIOCP 1?

 * Does stuff work okay on windows with bufferevents enabled and
 _UseFilteringSSLBufferevents 1, DisableIOCP 0?
