#16366: tor hangs for 30 seconds when parsing torrc ending in backslash-newline

 Priority:  minor   |      Milestone:  Tor: 0.2.???

--------------------+------------------------------
 When parsing torrc files that end in backslash then newline, tor hangs for
 approximately 30 seconds.

 Examples:
 {{{
 ORPort \

 }}}
 {{{
 HTTPProxy \

 }}}

 I have confirmed this issue in tor 0.2.6.8 and tor 0.2.7.1-alpha.

 Note:
 * the eventual result is still a failed parse, which is correct
 * the issue is of delay/annoyance value at best
 * triggering the issue requires access to torrc
