 > > I was about to file this bug, too. This happens on Windows as well
 when testing in a Tor Browser context. I think this prevents Tor Browser
 starting up properly as I've seen numerous instances where Tor Browser
 "hangs" for 20 minutes after those messages. But that's "only" happening
 with a clean, new bundle on first start. Luckily, 0.3.5.5-alpha is fine,
 though.

 which ships 0.3.4.9. The result is that bootstrapping is delayed for
 several minutes (assuming that delay is actually caused by that parsing
 issue). I wonder, though, while this seems to be a new bug...

 Wait, scratch that. I think I took the wrong bundle to test. Sorry for the
 noise.
