Hi zwol. Are you sure about this? I just tried making this tweak...
https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/atagar/stem.git/commitdiff/4f38835
... and Stem's integ tests pass. I'm not sure if this fixes the issue
where tor seizes up, but tor seems to gracefully handle the closure of
stdout/stderr.
Would someone running into this issue mind giving this change a try?
