Same version of tor worked fine with a few previous 4.4.x kernel versions (4.4.115, 4.4.111, 4.4.88). Tor process freezes in uninterruptible state as soon as a program anonymized using this guideline https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TransparentProxy#Transparentlyanonymizingtrafficforaspecificuser tries to get online. Symptoms are similar to the ones described in this ticket https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/25380
