Comment:

 The cause of this problem is a bug in the processing of included folders
 containing files with only comments or whitespace. I was able to reproduce
 this problem with the following configuration:

 torrc:
 {{{
 %include /etc/tor/torrc.d/
 Log notice stderr # can be any valid option
 }}}

 /etc/tor/torrc.d/01_invalid:
 {{{
 InvalidOption
 }}}

 /etc/tor/torrc.d/02_comment:
 {{{
 # comment
 }}}

 Running tor --verify-config -f torrc will incorrectly identify this as a
 valid configuration despite the invalid option on
 /etc/tor/torrc.d/01_invalid.

 The bug is that any files on a %included folder where the last file
 contains only comments or whitespace are being ignored. Also the bug is
 only triggered if there is a valid option after the %include.

 The cause of this bug is that, when creating the list of configurations
 options from the included files, a pointer to the last element of the list
 is incorrectly set to NULL when processing a file with only comments or
 whitespace. This can cause the options list to be built incorrectly,
 causing this behaviour.

 I've made a pull request with a fix for this problem and a test case:
