 I have a Tor node that is set to hibernate after an amount of data has
 been served.

 I would normally expect the node to resume normal activity when its
 hibernation time is over.

 Unfortunately on windows7 the Tor node reports the following upon resume
 from Tor hibernation.

 """Could not bind to 0.0.0.0:9443: Address already in use [WSAEADDRINUSE
 ]. Is Tor already running?"""
