Hi, I think it's a problem of amount of file descriptors : depending on the user, you have a limited amount of file descriptor that can be used (inside the tor's code, file descriptors are also used as handle/identifier for all network connections).
I think the max amount of it (for a given user) can be checked with the command "ulimit -n" as this user. When I had 2 tor clients running (the second launched manually by a user named "tor2"), I modified the "limits.conf" file, adding those 2 lines at the end : #* soft core 0 #root hard core 100000 #* hard rss 10000 #@student hard nproc 20 #@faculty soft nproc 20 #@faculty hard nproc 50 #ftp hard nproc 0 #ftp - chroot /ftp #@student - maxlogins 4 tor2 soft nofile 100000 tor2 hard nofile 100000 May be it needs a restart, or it doesn't apply to what have been started by "tor2" user before the modification When tor is launched by /etc/init.d/tor start may be this haven't to be done manually. That's all I know about it, hope it will help you to find and correct the problem !
