 Replying to [comment:5 jabu]:
 > Receiving this error on Sierra with default torrc in Tor 0.2.9.9 / Tor
 Browser 6.5. Have also tried other versions of Tor Browser (6.0 & 7.0a1)
 which still produce the error.

 information with instructions.

 Does the error happen if you start tor outside of Tor Browser:
 {{{
 /path/to/tor ORPort 0
 }}}

 It would be helpful to have info-level logs.
 To log at info level, start tor like this:
 {{{
 /path/to/tor ORPort 0 Log "info stderr"
 }}}
 Or, if the error only happens in Tor Browser, add this line to the default
 torrc:
 {{{
 Log info stderr
 }}}
