tor failing to receive directory on FreeBSD

[Nicolas Gieczewski]

Hello,

I can't get tor v0.1.0.14 to work on FreeBSD. It looks like it's failing to receive a directory, which results in the inability to build a circuit. I've been able to reproduce this problem on two different boxes running FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE with both versions 0.1.0.14 and 0.1.0.11 of tor. When running the same versions of tor on Linux and Windows, on the other hand, tor successfully receives a directory and builds a circuit in under 5 seconds.

Any ideas? I'll be happy to provide any additional information that may help debug this.

Thanks in advance,
