Comment(by arma):

 There is no Tor driver -- it seems that whoever wrote that thinks Tor runs
 some drivers, rather than just a program called Tor.

 rransom suggests that it could be the fact that Tor uses mmap to interact
 with its cached descriptor file. That's a plausible guess. Runa, can you
 ask your contact if an ordinary program using mmap might produce the
 behavior he saw? And if so, if he still thinks it's a bug in the ordinary
 program?
