Comment (by stemid):

 I also have this issue on Debian 8.2 with Tor 0.2.7.5-1 using systemd.

 I managed to get around this particular error by overriding
 `NoNewPrivileges=no` in
 `/etc/systemd/system/tor at default.service.d/workaround.conf` and doing
 `systemctl daemon-reload` before restarting tor.

 However this resulted in new issues with systemctl hanging indefinitely,
 and whether I leave the systemctl command running, or if I interrupt it,
 this results in a state where tor service keeps being interrupted every
 minute.

 {{{
 Nov 29 17:09:43 vpn.domain Tor[8239]: Self-testing indicates your DirPort
 is reachable from the outside. Excellent.
 Nov 29 17:11:34 vpn.domain systemd[1]: tor at default.service start operation
 timed out. Terminating.
 Nov 29 17:11:34 vpn.domain Tor[8239]: Interrupt: we have stopped accepting
 new connections, and will shut down in 30 seconds. Interrupt again to exit
 now.
 }}}

 And this repeats, over and over.

 Seems to me these issues are in jessie/systemd, not any hypervisor.

 The latest issue now is that the service keeps being interrupted every
 minute and restarting.
