 This version of Tor, which comes embedded in TorBrowser 7.5a2, seems to
 read only torrc-defaults when TBB is launched. Thus any changes (such as
 adding a second SocksPort line to torrc) get ignored unless they are made
 to torrc-defaults.

 In particular, {{{ps aux | grep -i tor.real}}} yields the following (note
 the argument passed to the --defaults-torrc flag):

 {{{
 heywood            1799   0.0  0.5  2482880  39152   ??  S    11:36AM

 /Applications/Firefox_Tor_7.5a2.app/Contents/Resources/TorBrowser/Tor
 /torrc-defaults -f /Users/heywood/Library/Application Support/TorBrowser-
 Data/Tor/torrc [...] +__ControlPort 9151 +__SocksPort 127.0.0.1:9150
 IPv6Traffic PreferIPv6 KeepAliveIsolateSOCKSAuth __OwningControllerProcess
 1798
 }}}

 Moreover, if I quit TBB, move the torrc file out of ~/Library/Application
 Support/TorBrowser-Data/ and restart TBB, torrc gets created there anew,
 but it is empty (zero bytes).
