 > Ok, that above fix is bad, because it will complain when you set
 DataDirectory to e.g. {{{~/.test}}} -- which is actually an absolute path,
 even if it doesn't start with {{{/}}}.

 "~" expansion is a missing feature, not a bug. Your shell does it, many
 other contexts do not. See #28311.

 But you've found another bug in Tor's config handling. On my machine, it
 results in a crash and a spurious call to free(). See #28312.

 those?

 Maybe if we fixed #28312, your original solution would work?
