 When I run a Tor instance with the RunAsDaemon option enabled it does not
 work. I tested it with the current stable and alpha releases. I remember
 this option was working at the time I wrote the
 http://blog.databigbang.com/distributed-scraping-with-multiple-tor-
 circuits/ article (December 2, 2011).

 If I run it in the following way:
 tor --RunAsDaemon 1 --CookieAuthentication 0 --HashedControlPassword ""
 --ControlPort 8118 --PidFile tor0.pid --SocksPort 9050 --DataDirectory
 data/tor0

 and test it using curl with:
 curl -v --socks5 localhost:9050 <url>

 It never retrieves the url, but if I run the tor process without
 RunAsDaemon it works.
