 TBB 3.5 OS X: When a URL can't be accessed for whatever reason (bad Tor
 connection, bad internet connection, or internet off) TBB seems to get
 locked into a very high CPU usage situation that it can't remedy itself
 out of without user interaction (closing the window/tab or new identity
 etc)

 This is not new. Prior versions of TBB on OS X that included Vidalia had
 the same problem.

 Perhaps it's getting stuck in a loop somewhere ?
