It seems that a fix was merged yesterday: see https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/5417 and https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-commits/2012-March/041036.html . I bet there will be new TBBs out very soon. In the meantime, Linux users should delete vidalia-debug-log and symlink it to /dev/null. (Haven't tested that, but it should work: % ln -sf /dev/null /path/to/vidalia-debug-log % ls -l /path/to/vidalia-debug-log lrwxr-xr-x 1 username username 9 Mar 19 11:53 vidalia-debug-log -> /dev/null .) IMO, this is a really good reason for us to move to getting enough automation done so we can have nightly TBB builds and catch this kind of thing *before* actual releases come out. -- Nick _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
