Comment(by atagar):
Ah, think I might know what's going on. When you press 'w' to get the
confirmation dialog is it showing you a torrc that it will write or is
that blank? Getting the torrc to be written requires the "GETINFO config-
text" option which was introduced in Tor version 0.2.2.7.
The save function sees the empty output and thinks that the torrc should
be empty. This is a bug, both with 1.4.2 and the current master (though it
would only manifest in 1.4.3 when you chose "Save As..." since "Save" uses
SAVECONF). I'll add a tor version check and display an error rather than
writing a blank config.
Thanks for the catch!
