 Orbot 15.1.2 worked fine on my Nexus 6P with Android 6.0.1. When I
 upgraded to the Android N developer preview, I discovered that Orbot fails
 to stop Tor when requested, although the indicator button claims it is
 stopped. If you try to "start" Tor again, Orbot gets stuck in a loop,
 constantly trying to start a new Tor instance when one is already running.
 Stopping Orbot in the device application temporally resolves the issue.
