Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Sorry, can be platform specific. but i could have this again reproduced
 and it just happened randomly again.
 warning log file filled over 7GB within one hour.
 all messages are the same:


 {{{
 Aug 26 09:47:20.000 [warn] {BUG} tor_bug_occurred_(): Bug:
 buffers_tls.c:73: buf_read_from_tls: Non-fatal assertion !(buf->datalen >=
 INT_MAX - at_most) failed. (on Tor 0.4.0.5 )
 }}}
 tor process does not start afterwards. without setting

 {{{
 TruncateLogFile 1
 }}}

 error:

 {{{
