Comment (by arma):

 When you start your Tor with socksport 1000, it gives you
 {{{
 Jun 17 15:55:04.903 [notice] Opening Socks listener on 127.0.0.1:1000
 Jun 17 15:55:04.903 [warn] Could not bind to 127.0.0.1:1000: Permission
 denied
 Jun 17 15:55:04.904 [warn] Failed to parse/validate config: Failed to bind
 one of the listener ports.
 Jun 17 15:55:04.904 [err] Reading config failed--see warnings above.
 }}}
 I.e. it refuses to start.

 So maybe the fix here is that we should actually back out the setconf
 attempt? Rather than saying we backed it out but then not actually doing
 so?
