 Replying to [comment:1 nickm]:

 controlport" without having a way for the controller to find out what it
 was?)

 Turns out the user was in fact of the 'expert user' type. He configured
 his arm to use the control port he saw in his logs, and arm couldn't
 handle it because nobody told atagar about the possibility that
 controlport would be a non-integer:
 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/4471

 The broader question here is about how to increase the odds that arm can
 be attached to a Tor run out of TBB. I don't think solving this ticket
 will address that broader question though.
