Do you get such notices:
   Mar 25 12:43:29.000 [notice] Parsing GEOIP IPv4 file f:\Mingw32\src\inet\Tor-Project\src\config\geoip.
   Mar 25 12:43:29.000 [notice] Parsing GEOIP IPv6 file f:\Mingw32\src\inet\Tor-Project\src\config\geoip6.

in your .log-files? If not, 'tor_fopen_cloexec()' fails to read them.

I'm on Windows (as you see) and thus have no issue with this
'FD_CLOEXEC' non-sense that your may have.

Or try running 'scripts/maint/geoip/update_geoip.sh'.
