Comment (by teor):

 This is related to #17359, where `__DisablePredictedCircuits 1` causes tor
 to hang while bootstrapping. The root cause is that tor relies on
 predicted circuits to generate network activity, and network activity
 causes tor to perform certain actions on a regular basis.

 I'd recommend avoiding these options (and similar options) until we have a
 fix - I doubt a fix would be backported to any 0.2 series tor version.
