Replying to [comment:4 arthuredelstein]:
> As far as I know, the `+SocksPort ...` command-line argument doesn't
write anything permanent to the torrc file, but just temporarily adds a
SocksPort for the lifetime of the tor process being launched. So I don't
think you will be accumulating more than two SocksPorts at a time.
Kathy and I saw that happen yesterday when we experimented with
+SocksPort. It happens without the + as well, at least with Tor
0.2.9.5-alpha. If you start Tor Browser and then make a change via Tor
Launcher's Network Settings window so that torrc gets written to disk
(e.g., enable allowed ports), you will see that ControlPort and SocksPort
lines are added. We only tested on OSX so far. I wonder what the intended
behavior is?
