[tor-relays] Why is Tor trying to check the wrong ORPort/DirPort addresses?

[David Tomic]

-- What IP addresses does Tor mention in its log as it is starting up?

The ones which I have configured in my torrc file.

-- It appears that the Address option hasn't been applied, and Tor is still
guessing based on the IP address of the last interface.
-- Please send a HUP to your tor instances after changing their configs, or
restart them entirely.

I have already tried both options, many times now ;)  While I'm also seeing
exactly the same kind of problem on my second server, the reachability test
is always trying to contact the first adapter / ip address there, so it
doesn't necessarily seem to be getting stuck on the last interface.
