 Replying to [comment:5 arma]:
 > Exciting! Looking at the 0.2.2.39 changelog, I don't think we introduced
 anything that could have caused it. So it's more likely that the bug is in
 previous versions too.

 for other good questions to answer.

 It was repeatable beffore I rolled back to ver .38. I can't test again, my
 machine isn't the best of testbeds while I've got so many other things
 running on it & while I'm trying hard to keep the bridge up long enough to
 be helpful. I wasn't able to induce the behavior since I could never
 establish an online presence in the first place. The client always worked
 OK. I've looked at the doc; it's generally helpful but the problem isn't
 that Tor crashes but rather that bridge implementation  hangs on
 identifying itself. If no else has experienced the problem I'll for now
 assume that it's a fault in my system rather than a bug. I'm planning to
 run the bridge from a separate, dedicated machine. When I build that I'll
 try to run ver 39 or whatever ver  is then current & be able to test more
 decisively.

 BTW check.torproject.org/  indicates I'm running the latest bundle, but
 the installation changelog shows that I'm running Tor Browser Bundle
 (2.2.38-2); suite=windows. Just mentioning it. - eli
