Comment:

 Ok, I *think* this might be due to the new command line parser in 0.2.5.1.
 It appears that the HashedControlPassword command line parameter is
 overriding the torrc HashedControlPassword entry that we're adding
 manually. Based on the manpage, providing one HashedControlPassword on the
 command line and one in the torrc should cause both to apply, which was
 the case in 0.2.4.x.

 nickm - Am I right? Is there any way we can have the command line
 HashedControlPassword not override the torrc value, but be treated as an
 additional password, like it was in 0.2.4.x?

 Here's the changelog entry that made me suspect Tor as the culprit here:

 {{{
   o Minor bugfixes (command line):
     - Use a single command-line parser for parsing torrc options on the
       command line and for finding special command-line options to avoid
       inconsistent behavior for torrc option arguments that have the same
       names as command-line options. Fixes bugs 4647 and 9578; bugfix on
       0.0.9pre5.
 }}}
