 Replying to [comment:2 zqcxobbe]:
 > I managed to solve it, and I cannot reproduce anymore. What I did was to
 install torsocks from official repositories, and re-install it with my own
 version. The problem is gone, and I cannot make it happen again. I tried
 to remove the official version before reinstalling, but that did not bring
 back the problem. I don't know what happened.

 It's still there. How it happened: suspended the computer, unplugged
 network and power cords, started the computer (came back from suspension)
 without power cord (laptop), worked a little on unrelated stuff (no
 torsocks running) and after a couple of minutes, tor started using up to
 98% of the CPU.
