Comment (by cypherpunks):

 >  If you point it at a system tor, it will use it. Otherwise it will
 assume that you want to launch one. I don't see myself changing this
 behavior.


 I didn't point it to anything, I just happened to have torified processes
 running - all of which I had to kill before starting the sandbox.

 > So don't kill it.

 It should at least tell the user that the tor process has been killed and
 that new connections won't work, and not just ask something as vague as if
 you're running tor browser bundle.

 > I'm not changing this either.

 So if tor crashes the user is just out of luck.
