Comment (by cypherpunks):

 > but I am most suspicious of the interaction between HTTPS Everywhere's
 check.t.o connection (see ticket:9693#comment:5) and the
 torbutton_local_tor_check().

 It's the same problem as diagnosed and fixed for hang on New Identity
 control port access by #9531, torbutton_local_tor_check() using control
 port on browser start-up.

 > So that is not a true deadlock situation.

 Yes, it was imitation of deadlock which triggered on start-up while
 accessing control port soon after TLS connection somewhere in browser
 launched.
