[tor-dev] stem on windows 7

Any suggestions on how to deal with stem on Windows 7 getting stuck at: [notice] Bootstrapped 45%: Asking for relay descriptors.

Occasionally it will make it to: [notice] Bootstrapped 50%: Asking for relay descriptors.

If I run Vidalia in client mode only, it works fine.

I see in the documentation it says: The timeout argument does not work on Windows, and relies on the global state of the signal module.

I have no idea what the "global state of the signal module" means.

Python 2.7

Thanks Tony
