Comment(by jaj123):

 When my old Tor crashed, it seemed random: sometimes it took 5 min,
 sometimes 1 hour. That was about 1½ years ago. I kept no records, I just
 thought I'll give Tor another try later.

 I installed Ubuntu's updates suggested by the Update manager some 8 hours
 ago. Tor and Vidalia went completely down, as did Firefox (it had Tor
 enabled). I had to remove Firefox completely and re-install it to get it
 up. Vidalia and Tor are now up and running, but I had to start them as
 root (sudo was not enough), While trying, the whole system crashed several
 times, but recovered without any tricks, creating automatic bug reports
 for the Ubuntu team. I think the later is Ubuntu's bug: it just would not
 let me start anything with Gnome GUI as root, and as a result told me
 even:"...root does not exist, cant' do anything without it" (Sic!). Please
 keep me informed, there might be some serious bugs spreading around.
