Tor 0.2.1.21 fixes an incompatibility with the most recent OpenSSL
library. If you use Tor on Linux / Unix and you're getting SSL
renegotiation errors, upgrading should help. We also recommend an
upgrade if you're an exit relay.

https://www.torproject.org/easy-download

Changes in version 0.2.1.21 - 2009-12-21
o Major bugfixes:
- Work around a security feature in OpenSSL 0.9.8l that prevents our
handshake from working unless we explicitly tell OpenSSL that we
are using SSL renegotiation safely. We are, of course, but OpenSSL
0.9.8l won't work unless we say we are.
- Avoid crashing if the client is trying to upload many bytes and the
circuit gets torn down at the same time, or if the flip side
happens on the exit relay. Bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha; fixes bug 1150.

o Minor bugfixes:
- Do not refuse to learn about authority certs and v2 networkstatus
documents that are older than the latest consensus. This bug might
have degraded client bootstrapping. Bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
Spotted and fixed by xmux.
- Fix a couple of very-hard-to-trigger memory leaks, and one hard-to-
trigger platform-specific option misparsing case found by Coverity
Scan.
- Fix a compilation warning on Fedora 12 by removing an impossible-to-
trigger assert. Fixes bug 1173.

Regards
Gordon

Seems like a good idea. Have you suggested this to Pale Moon?

Mozilla on their incomplete TOR browser bundle. 3)Where did TOR cum

recent fix for ver FF 3 = running behind. Socks4a and FF extensions (and
ftp) in vers FF 1.6+ don't play well together. many mysterious implodes
of TOR especially with the frequently installed Google toolbar. FF ext
shite on DNS queries and no one knows which ones leak out and which ones
don't since there are so many exts.

TOR was a US Naval Intell project (ONI) which was rooted in cascading
mixes from DARPA/ARPA/Email(1980)/Internet(1992). All hail "Ari" David
Chaum(steinn).

Imajin that.
