 I just installed lollipop on my VZ S5, and followed it up with the Orbot
 5.0 update. When I press orbot, he goes yellow, tries to connect, then
 shuts down to grey. I receive the following error notification: Unable to
 start Tor: java.lang.Exception: Torrc config did not verify.

 Here is also a copy of the log:

 I saw a ticket with a similar problem, but there was no response, at least
 in the public comments.
