[tor-relays] Recent Tor versions not reloading config on / ignoring HUP kill signal.

[George Hartley]

Can this get some attention please?

A temporary fix seems to be to either patch the two magic constants of MIN/MAX_THREADS mentioned in the bugtracker, or to not use the seccomp syscall sandbox.

Both not obviously not the best options.

George
