 Upgraded from Tor 0.2.2.36 to 0.2.3.22-rc. I'm observing an issue with Tor
 0.2.3.22-rc. After around 12+ hours of uptime for a tor system daemon, tor
 fails to build circuits even though relays and exit nodes are still
 online. Tor does not recover on its own, the process must be stopped and
 restarted. Restarting the daemon "/etc/init.d/tor restart" results in
 normal behavior and tor starts to build circuits without a problem.

 I've attached sanitized log files.  The first log shows Tor activity over
 a two day period. The second log shows output from Tor after restart with
 "/etc/init.d/tor restart"  It's also interesting to note that Tor does not
 recognize "Excludenodes {uk}"

 Without including a copy of torrc, I think it is relevant to mention some
 additional parameters. Hopefully these aren't the cause of the problem,
 but it's possible they might interfere in some way.

 ExcludeNodes {uk}, {us}
 ExcludeExitNodes {uk}, {us}
