Comment (by erinn):

 Mike, gk says that he sees a 6-byte difference between our tor.exes. I was
 originally thinking the problem was the one mentioned in your blog post:

   On Windows builds, something mysterious causes 3 bytes to randomly vary
 in the binary.

   Unable to determine the source of this, we just bitstomp the binary and
 regenerate the PE header checksums using strip... Seems fine so far! ;)

 But given the 6 rather than 3 byte difference, I am not sure. Where does
 this alleged bitstomping occur, so that I can test it? I poked around
 grepping for strip here and there but it is unclear to me.
