I've just encountered a problem starting tor. When I do 'systemctl start tor' it fails and I get selinux errors in the log.

I explored this a bit further. I moved away the /var/lib/tor/hidden_service directory. Then I started tor and now it came up fine. It also recreated the /var/lib/tor/hidden_service directory as torrc hadn't changed. But then I tried to restart it. Now it failed, with the same selinux errors.

Seems definitely to be a bug of some sort. Not sure if it is with selinux or tor though. And I know it worked a while back.
