Comment(by rtoepfer):

 Vidalia closes reading of stdout at vidalia/MainWindow.cpp
 MainWindow::authenticated around line 1485.

 The TorProcess::closeStdOut in TorProcess.cpp function does not wait long
 enough for remaining messages after Vidalia receives Tor's ack for the
 register events message in the MainWindow::authenticated function.  I
 suggest implementing a preset wait in this function, then moving the
 closeReadChannel function to occur after this wait.  A 250 millisecond
 wait should be more than adequate.  A QTimer wait would also work.
