 [https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-talk/2012-August/025065.html A
 TBB user reports] that when TBB-Tor saves its torrc, it includes an
 absolute path in the value of the ControlPortWriteToFile option.  This may
 disclose a filesystem location from which a particular copy of TBB has
 been run.

 I have tested Tor to determine whether it expands relative paths; it does
 not, so TBB-Vidalia must be specifying an absolute path.
