Comment (by yawning):

 Replying to [comment:2 dcf]:
 > I was pretty surprised by this, because I was under the impression that
 tor always sets `TOR_PT_EXIT_ON_STDIN_CLOSE=1` nowadays, and therefore
 this code should never have worked in any released bundle. But it turns
 out it only sets the variable for server transports, not client
 transports, which is why this bug wasn't detected earlier:

 I don't remember why it only does that on servers.  Should it set the env
 var for clients as well?
