Comment (by sisbell):

 The behavior that causes problem on restart (from branch 0505)

  1. Tor starts bootstrap
  1. User clicks icon and exits settings screen
  1. App tells TorService to shutdown
  1. TorService sends TERM to tor process and begins shutdown
  1. User clicks connect
  1. TorService reuses tor process (since it hasn't finished shutdown) and
 opens new connection
  1. TorService reloads, causing second tor bootstrap (the shutdown is also
 still in process)
  1. Tor shuts down and the connect button is not reset
