Comment(by Sebastian):

 Here's the issue: TBB doesn't set a DataDirectory in vidalia.conf, so Tor
 doesn't get a DataDirectory. It defaults to $HOME/.tor, which is cool
 generally.

 But now the ControlPortWriteToFile is implemented (inside Vidalia) as
 $DataDirectoryTADIR/port.conf, but $DataDirectory is empty - so that
 becomes /port.conf. The issue is that Vidalia passes an absolute path that
 is outside of TBB.
