Comment(by arma):

 Sounds related to #1827 (which got merged in Tor 0.2.3.11-alpha):
 {{{
     - Try to use system facilities for enumerating local interface
       addresses, before falling back to our old approach (which was
       binding a UDP socket, and calling getsockname() on it). That
       approach was scaring OS X users whose draconian firewall
       software warned about binding to UDP sockets, regardless of
       whether packets were sent. Now we try to use getifaddrs(),
       SIOCGIFCONF, or GetAdaptersAddresses(), depending on what the
       system supports. Resolves ticket 1827.
 }}}
