#17843: Confusing double-quotes in config parse failure message

 Put
 {{{
 orport 1755800511a:443
 }}}
 in your torrc and then try to start Tor. You (rightly) get an error:
 {{{
 Dec 13 19:19:48.438 [warn] Couldn't parse address '"1755800511a:443"' for
 ORPort
 }}}

 But what is with the '"%s"' there? Shouldn't it just be quoted once, not
 twice in some weird nested way?

 Encountered while trying to help a user debug his torrc, and the extra
 layer of "" made me think he was adding it explicitly somehow.
