#3123: contrib/torctl script sends SIGHUP without running tor --verify-config
first

--------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
The torctl script in Tor's contrib/ directory supports a reload command
which sends SIGHUP to the running Tor process, but it doesn't check the
new configuration for validity with `tor --verify-config` first, and it
doesn't check to see whether Tor is still running after it sends the
SIGHUP. This can lead to Tor exiting without the user noticing that there
is a problem.
Slackware's Tor package installs and uses this script; other distributions
may package it for users, too.
