Comment:

 If we're going to leave this broken in 0.2.3.x, please remove
 IsolateSOCKSAuth from the manpage, and deprecate the torrc option in
 config.c, so we tell users who try to use it that it's not supported and
 Tor exits if they try to use it.

 It's really bad form to let people think they're getting a security bonus
 by using an option we decided to let remain silently broken..
