Comment (by arma):

 I noticed this bug because onionshare's behavior is to launch the
 transient onion service via the control port, and then try connecting to
 the onion address repeatedly until it works. In the old onionshare
 behavior (Tor 0.2.5), it tried a few times, with not much delay between
 tries, and then it was ready. In the new onionshare behavior (Tor 0.3.2),
 it has to wait the whole 120 seconds before it learns that its first try
 didn't work.
