Re: Absolutely cannot run tor 0.2.1.7-alpha

[Praedor Atrebates <praedor@xxxxxxxxx>]

There!  FINALLY seem to have a working tor 0.2.1.7-alpha.  I went down the 
requisite lines in the config one by one, uncommenting the minimum needed and 
finally got it working.

SOMETHING must have changed from 0.2.1.6-alpha or the previous config would 
have worked fine with the new one...it didn't (on my system at least).
