#3874: If tor dies while vidalia is waiting for port.conf, vidalia should notice
better

 Priority:  normal   |      Milestone:        
Component:  Vidalia  |        Version:

---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
 1) Vidalia launches Tor
 2) Waits to read port.conf to find out how to talk to Tor
 3) Tor dies (seg faults or something)
 4) After a short pause, Vidalia complains that it couldn't read port.conf.

 There should be a step 3.5 where Vidalia realizes that the Tor process
 isn't around anymore, and *that*'s probably why the port.conf file didn't
 show up. Then it can give the user a better hint about what went wrong.
