#5076: "Could not setup the environment of the managed proxy" when using init
script

 Priority:  normal      |      Milestone:  Tor: 0.2.3.x-final
Component:  Tor Bridge  |        Version:

------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 tor needs to pass the values of the environment variables `PATH` and
 `HOME` to the managed proxy. If it can't find those variables in its
 environment, it will fail with:
 {{{
 [warn] Could not setup the environment of the managed proxy at
 '/usr/local/bin/obfsproxy'.
 }}}

 People have encountered this, when they tried to use managed proxies with
 an init. script, and they init. script didn't set up those two variables
 before spawning tor.

 We should work around this.
