Comment(by bastik):

 On the system in question are running three Vidalia instances and three
 Tor instances.

 In order of launching.

 1) Relay (Latest unstable bundle) launched as limited user
 ControlPort 9052
 Socks 0

 2) Client (tor-browser-2.2.35-7.1_en-US) for IRC launched as limited user
 ControlPort 9051
 Socks 9050

 3) Client (tor-browser-2.3.12-alpha-1_en-US) for browsing, limited user
 ControlPort automatically
 Socks automatically

 I launched instance 3) before instance 2) a couple of times to see if the
 automatic port selection worked well with the browser. It did, but I
 needed a "stable" Socks Port for IRC and so I launched instance 2) before
 I re-launched instance 3)

 Instance 1 was launched at 07:40 (local time) and only reported that it's
 running and that the ORPort is reachable. I'm getting Heartbeats every x
 hours (just like I set) My I has not changed since then.

 Instance 2 was launched at 08:53 (local time) and reported at 15:26 that
 my IP has changed.

 Instance 3 was launched at 08:54 and reported at 11:29 that my IP has
 changed. (This is the instance this ticket was about)
