Here we go again...tor just stops

[Kyle Williams]

I'm just throwing this out here, because something similar happened to me
recently.The app I was working with would run fine for a few hours, maybe
even a day.  Then it would just die, halt, or freeze my system.

After a week or so of trying to debug it, I remembered rule 1 in
troubleshooting, check the physical hardware first to make sure it is
working correctly.  So I ran a memtest, and sure enough, I had a few bad
spots in my RAM.

I wasted weeks thinking it was either:
1) bad code
2) bad OS
3) bad VM configuration

and it wasn't any of those.  Go figure....
Perhaps run a memtest just to be sure it isn't hardware related??  Just a
thought..
