Comment(by ln5):

 I can reproduce this on FreeBSD 8.2 within 10-30 minutes, using processes
 (a single one, in fact).

 It seems like the problem is either tor writing to the socketpair or the
 cpuworker reading from it.

 Furthermore, adding 9 calls to log_debug() in read_all() seems to mask the
 bug.  This suggests that we might want to think about possible problem
 with recv() on a socketpair.
